Winter Sowing at Wakeman Town Farm 1.26.27 7:00

Get a jump on spring this winter – and attract pollinators to your garden this summer.

Learn to make your own “mini-greenhouse” in a bottle to start native plants that pollinators love. Leave it outside till spring, when you’ll reap dozens of seedlings to plant in your garden. “If you grow it, they will come!”

Collect or save your bottles now: clear 1-litre or 2-litre soda bottles or translucent half-gallon and gallon milk jugs are recommended. All other materials will be provided, including some special seeds sourced right in our ecoregion.

Taught by UConn advanced master gardener Alice Ely.

This event is a collaboration of Wakeman Town Farm, Westport Pollinator Pathway, and Sustainable Westport as part of the ongoing "Your Yard, Our Climate" initiative
