SUMMARY:Workshop - Winter Sowing Native Plants (Newport\, RI)
DESCRIPTION:Interested in learning how to grow your own native plants?\nA team of gardeners from The Rhode Island Wild Plant Society and Master Gardeners from Kettle Pond and Trustom Pond projects will provide gardeners with the materials and information needed to winter sow native plants.  Gardeners will sow seeds into a gallon milk jug and will be provided with instructions for winter care\, transplanting\, summer care\, and fall planting. Gardeners will be provided with seeds to take home for additional sowing.  In addition\, gardeners will need to have an outdoor place to store the milk jug over the winter. \nThe workshop will be held   Jan 17. 2026\, 2:30-4:00\, Newport Public Library\, Newport\, 847-8720.   \nThis same workshop will also be held on  Jan 31\, 2026\, 11:00-12:30–Cross’ Mills Public Library\, Charlestown\, 364-6211 \n The workshops is  associated with the GRINS initiative (Grow Rhode Island Native Seeds)\, a program in which libraries through out Rhode Island are offering free seeds and information to encourage gardeners to grow native plants. The presenters have been working with the United States Fish and Wildlife Service for several years to create and maintain native plant gardens at Kettle Pond\, Trustom Pond\, and Sachuest Point.  They have worked with habitat restoration teams to propagate thousands of native plants that have been planted at wildlife refuges\, schools\, and public parks throughout Rhode Island.   \n  \nRegistration is required  \nGardeners will need to call the libraries to register for the events.
