Joy Cirigliano, our Senior Coordinator of Bird-Friendly Communities will discuss our local native plants’ “seedy needs”, how to collect and clean seeds, and some important considerations when sowing native seeds. She will also demonstrate different ways to winter-sow native seeds, and possible “mini-greehhouses” that can be used to sow seeds in and then leave out over the winter, for nature to germinate.  If you plan on creating your own “winter greenhouse,” please bring a translucent milk carton that light can shine through, or a clear plastic produce clamshell with a lid. We will provide seeds and soil.
