 Native plants are easy to grow from seeds and this is the perfect time to get started!

Learn why growing native plants from local seeds helps protect our wild plant populations and increases biodiversity.

The workshop includes:

• a brief presentation that demystifies eco-regions, ecotypes and why local native plants are key to preserving our pollinators, birds and other local fauna

• hands-on seed sowing: participants will leave with a tray of 8 pots they have sown with native seeds

• written instructions for seed sowing and information about where to place the pots for the winter, when to look for germination next spring and when to plant them in the ground, as well as other helpful resources.

Thank you for supporting RIWPS/ReSeeding RI, our partner farms and land trusts and for restoring habitats by sowing local eco-typic seeds!
