Date: Date TBA
Cost: Free, in partnership with Thetford Conservation Commission & West Fairlee Conservation Commission
Brooke Fleischman and Tobi Schulman, experts teaching two of the learning series at Cedar Circle this season (Native Seeds and Cultivating Purposeful Gardens with Native Plants) come together to co-host this workshop on winter sowing native tree species and native perennial herbaceous plants.
As a workshop participant, you will explore a variety of skills, from winter tree bud identification to cold stratification, and the educators will guide you through the process of preparing and planting seeds. You will also learn how to participate in Brooke’s citizen science initiative to build an inventory of seed collection sites for her project restoring riparian lands with native seeds. By the end of the workshop, you’ll be equipped with the knowledge to enhance your garden’s biodiversity and resilience with well-adapted native plants.
Every participant will have the opportunity to take home a pot full of native herbaceous perennial and tree seeds ready to overwinter and grow at home.
This workshop is part of the Cultivating Purposeful Gardens with Native Plants learning series with Tobi Schulman and the Woody Plants of Vermont: Native Seed Learning Series with Brooke Fleischman of the Intervale Conservation Nursery.
