Class Description

Discover the art of winter sowing with Extension Master Gardener Jasmin DeCourcey! In this class, we’ll explore an innovative and low-cost method of starting seeds outdoors during winter, using recycled containers as mini greenhouses. Perfect for gardeners of all levels, winter sowing is an ideal way to jump-start your garden with hardy, robust plants that thrive come spring. Learn how to select the best seeds, set up and prepare containers, and time your sowing to take advantage of nature’s cycles. By the end of the class, you’ll be ready to grow a wide range of flowers, vegetables, and herbs from scratch, all while saving money and minimizing your ecological footprint. Embrace this unique approach and let your garden grow naturally – even in the coldest months!
