Spring is here and it's time to GROW!
Join us in the sunny Propagation House at LarryVille Gardens for a Seed Starting 101 Workshop with Amber Mahaffy of Amber Urban Gardening. The Source Farm Shop will be open, and you are welcome to shop for Living Full kombucha on tap and snacks to celebrate the lengthening days.
This will be a hands-on exploration of how to start seeds at home and give your garden plants a jump on the season. All experience levels are welcome! Supplies for one seeded tray are included for $25. If you want to plant more, you can buy more! We will have a limited number of bigger kits available for purchase at the workshop.

You will leave with a small flat ready to grow, but Amber and Dr. Nicole Tautges, Research Director at Michael Fields Agricultural Institute, will also answer all of your questions about soil health, grow light options, potting on, hardening off, and transplanting! Learn about timing, using soil blocks, and choosing seeds. Feel free to bring some of your own seeds if you have some you want to start. Amber will have an assortment of organic and non-GMO seeds to choose.
Wear layers and clothes you can get dirty. The workshop is inside a greenhouse and temperatures can vary. Bring a friend and your curiousity!
