Food Not Lawns, Cleveland  and City Rising Farm
"Think Spring"
Seed Starting Workshop
and Potluck  
Sunday, March 03, 2013

Grace Lutheran Church

13001 Cedar Rd.
Cleveland Heights, OH

1:00-4:00 pm


Save your newspapers, paper bags, milk cartons, yogurt containers, plastic produce bags, plant pots/trays, yogurt cups, egg cartons etc. to try some  inexpensive and low tech seed starting methods.  We'll try to demystify the process, discuss starting vs. buying plants, what to start indoors and what can be direct seeded (including the use of cold frames, tunnels, makeshift greenhouses etc.). We'll have a calculator hand-out to help determine appropriate start dates.

Bring  seed starter mix  and seeds if you have them (we'll have some seeds from the swap).  Bring your expertise or beginner's interest.   Do you ave a favorite method, tips, starting mix recipe to share?

A small amount of seeds can grow a lot of seedlings.  Think about fostering a tray of plant babies for a later plant swap or sale.

Please bring a dish to share. We'll provide coffee, tea and other beverages.

There will also be a box for non-perishable food donation for the Hts. Emergency Food Bank.
