Winter Sowing Workshop | Maple Heights

Winter sowing native seeds is a simple and cost-effective way to grow your own native plants! Growing native plants in mini greenhouses using transparent milk jugs (or another similar plastic container) is easy and effective. This method emulates the cold winter conditions many plants need to germinate and also protects them from predators.

Cuyahoga SWCD will provide seeds, potting soil, instruction, and other supplies. We ask each attendee to bring their OWN milk jug to create a mini greenhouse. Feel free to bring an extra for yourself or a friend, we’ll provide soil until we run out.
