Fun With Winter Seed Sowing 
When: January 25, 2024
Where: Zoom
Time: 1:00 to 1:45 PM
Featuring Monica Milla, WCC Community Enrichment Instructor
You've heard of starting seeds indoors to get a jump on spring, but it's also possible to start seeds outdoors in winter! Find out how to mimic Mother Nature. There's no need for a greenhouse or grow lights, you're not limited by indoor space restrictions, and your seedlings will be hardened off and ready to plant. Growing your own garden provides equitable access to food.
Monica will highlight everything you need to know (seeds, containers, care) and then demonstrate the technique!
Open to all (students, faculty, staff and community members)- Questions? Contact Sandy McCarthy at mccarthy@wccnet.edu
