We’ve added a second date for this popular workshop. Join us for this hands-on workshop where participants will learn all the basics of growing cut flowers and will seed and take home a tray of warm season annuals that will be great for cutting! We have chosen varieties that are easiest to germinate and grow into seedlings including sunflowers, zinnias, cosmos, basil, celosia, and even purple hyacinth bean to grow up a trellis. These seedlings should be ready to transplant into the garden just about the time of our last expected frost. Each participant will seed into a 72 cell plug tray filled with seed starting soil. In addition to the seeds, tray, and soil, each will also receive a handout that covers everything from seed to vase, a seed catalog from Johnny’s Seeds and a few extra seeds for later! There will be lots of discussion and demos of how to be successful at growing cut flowers. that will include: - What to plant when – frost dates, warm season annuals, cool flowers etc. - How to read a seed packet and seed catalogue - Seeding in trays or soil blocks vs direct seeding and timing for each
