Starting and growing your own garden seeds is a fun project for the whole family.  Also, growing plants from seeds saves money and allows the growing of a succession of plants throughout the summer, instead of just one crop. 

This workshop will cover seed selection, heirloom and heritage seeds, appropriate containers, correct soil mixes, nutrition, light, temperature and water needs.  

The program will combine lecture and demonstration.

Cynthia Rabinowitz has been a consulting soil scientist, and environmental horticulturist for over 30 years.  Ms. Rabinowitz is also a certified Permaculture Design Consultant.
