About the Event

Master Gardeners will share information about native seed stratification methods and then conduct a hands-on workshop, where participants will practice what they have learned.
Participants will learn how to winter sow native seeds using a recycled gallon jug container. This method allows seeds to start early in a miniature DIY greenhouse. Winter-sown seedlings are hardy and easy to transplant in the spring after frost.
 
The event is free, and donations will be accepted to support the Warren County Extension Monarch Waystation.
 
Please register by calling 270-842-1681 so we can plan for materials to make one seed-starting container with the native species of your choice. The available native species are Purple coneflower (Echinacea purpurea), Butterfly weed (Asclepias tuberosa), and Swamp milkweed (Asclepias incarnata), Showy milkweed (Asclepias speciosa), Hollow-Joe Pye Weed (Eutrochium fistulosum), Golden Alexander (Zizea aurea), Rattlesnake Master (Eryngium yuccifolium L),Foxglove Beardtongue (Penstemon digitalis) and more. Many seeds have been harvested from the (WCMW) Warren County Monarch Waystation.
