The Art of Native Seed Sowing

Winter seed sowing is an easy and economical way to start your own
plants for a native pollinator garden. Native plants play an important
role in our local ecosystems. They feed our native pollinators at the
bottom of the food web that then provide meals for creatures on the
next level, such as birds and toads that visit our yards and gardens.
Perennial seed can be more difficult to germinate as each species has
different requirements to break seed dormancy which will be covered.
We will highlight several garden-worthy native perennials, learn
when and how to harvest seeds, best time to plant, and the conditions
for growing them once they germinate. Other propagation techniques
will be discussed for adding more natives to your yards and gardens.
