Sowing Seeds: Starting a Successful Spring Garden

A seed is a powerful resource. In this workshop led by UCSC Farm & Garden Staff, we'll discuss best practices for sowing, cultivating seedlings and transplanting. We will also explore strategies for planning and timing a successful warm season garden in this region. During the hands-on portion of the workshop we will sow seeds and work with seedlings, which you can take home and cultivate in your garden. Whether this is your first time to sow seeds or you have been stewarding your garden for years this will be a great way to spring into the growing season.
