Make Your Own Milk Jug Greenhouse to Start Native Seeds

Posted

If you’ve been wondering how to start growing native plants from seed, then attend this workshop offered by the Seekonk Land Conservation Trust, Osamequin Farm, and the Rehoboth Land Trust!

Native plant seeds normally experience a cold winter which we can simulate in the safety of a repurposed milk jug left outside. As the seasons change, the seeds will germinate on their natural schedule, you transplant them into seedling flats, then into larger pots until you’re ready to plant them in your yard!

Using the greenhouse space at Osamequin Farm in Seekonk, participants will first learn about native plants via a presentation, then create their own milk jug greenhouse planted with 2 different species of native seeds.

1:00 -3:00 pm
January 20, 2024 (January 27 - snow date)
Program fee: $30
Bring your own milk jug or translucent gallon container without a lid.

Register beginning December 15 at the Osamequin website: https://osamequinfarm/osamequinshop/startingnativeseeds
