Gardeners of all ages are invited to join us for a hands-on workshop on starting seeds indoors. Kate Garland, Horticulturist with the University of Maine Cooperative Extension, will provide a 30-minute overview of best practices for successful seed starting, including timing, lighting, soil selection, and care. The program will conclude with a make-and-take activity, and participants will leave with newly sown seeds to grow at home and transplant into their own gardens.<\/span><\/p>\n
