Chapter Events

Grow your own native perennials from seed! Experienced growers Ruth Reyer and Sharon Burnham will demonstrate two different methods for starting native perennials. We’ll talk about the basic requirements for most seeds: cold and moisture. We’ll demonstrate how to imitate nature by using the refrigerator and freezer or by seeding pots with a method to yield the best success. We’ll also talk about other aspects of seed starting, how to research each plant, and what to do once they’ve sprouted. Finally, each person will make their own coffee filter seed packet to take home to try out the refrigerator method.
