Sowing Seeds Outdoors in Winter and Spring

Monday, January 13 at 6:00 pm

Professional photographer and gardener, Michelle Mero Riedel, is excited about sharing her knowledge and experience sowing seeds outdoors in the winter and spring.  According to Michelle, "outside gardening doesn't have to stop during the long winter months.  Sowing seeds outdoors in the winter is easy, rewarding, and inexpensive."  This method of growing seeds uses recyclables to make mini-greenhouses.  Because nature controls the germination of winter-sown seeds, plants are hardier than artificially forced indoor plants.  Outside sowing is fun, rewarding, and takes a much more leisurely pace than inside sowing.
