Event Details

Growing Pound Ridge/Weed Local Meeting & Winter Seed Sowing Workshop

Are you interested in helping to increase biodiversity in Pound Ridge town planting projects?  Would you like to learn more about ecological gardening practices? Do you want to grow your own native plants from seed at home? Then this meeting is for you!

Please join your local neighbors to discuss how we can collectively and efficiently tackle town planting projects next season.  All ideas are encouraged and welcome!

After the meeting there will be a demonstration of winter seed sowing.  

Bring an empty (cleaned out) clear plastic, one gallon, milk/water jug or two with you to make a mini greenhouse.  

*We will supply potting soil, seeds, labels and tape.
