Winter sowing with seed snails
Learn how to take two wonderful methods of seed starting and combine them into one powerhouse way of starting seeds! It’s easy to do, the magic works outside while you wait for a month or two through the winter, and then is forgiving and easy to plant out come spring.
Winter sowing involves taking recycled milk jugs or 2 liter pop bottles and creating a mini greenhouse. Seed snails involve reusing bubble wrap envelopes and using a small quantity of moist, sterile potting soil.
The soil, gloves and trowels will be provided, but we would appreciate it if everyone could start collecting the recyclable supplies that will be used for the project:
- Bubble wrap envelopes (clear, white or manila-covered) like one might get from Amazon
- 2 liter soda bottles
- plastic milk jugs
If you can, please also bring a sharp pair of scissors labeled with your name. We’ll have some seeds to choose from, but you can bring your own as well. It can be flowers or veggies!
