SUMMARY:Native Seed Sowing Workshops - Morning  &  Afternoon
DESCRIPTION:Newton Conservators is cosponsoring workshops to help you learn
  how to grow your own native plants from seed! This workshop will give you
  the tools you need to spark your own pollinator garden. Soil\, native see
 ds and one empty one-gallon milk jug will be provided\, and you will get t
 o bring home your own mini greenhouse in a bottle. We invite you to bring 
 an extra one or two empty milk jugs if you want to plant and bring home a 
 variety of seeds.\n\nWinter seed sowing is a technique for starting nativ
 e plant seeds outdoors in containers during winter to create optimal condi
 tions for germination and growth when spring returns. Winter sowing is a s
 imple and inexpensive technique to grow a wide variety of native plants. 
 It mimics the natural process of seeds falling to the ground in autumn and
  being stratified by New England’s cold and wet winter weather\, while p
 roviding protection from critters and adverse weather\, resulting in a ver
 y high germination success rate.\n\nThe workshop is being held this year a
 t the Druker Auditorium at the Newton Free Library and registration is bei
 ng handled on the the Newton Free Library website.  To enable more peopl
 e to participate\, there will be two identical sessions of this workshop o
 n Saturday\, January 11. Please sign up for either the morning session (1
 1am-12:30pm) or the afternoon session (1:30-3pm).\n\nNOTE:  These wor
 kshops are currently fully booked.  However there is a waiting list since
  some spots will likely open up before the event.  You can go to the regi
 stration pagees to get on the waiting list.\n\nThis program is presented b
 y the Newton Community Pollinator Project\, a group of Newton residents w
 ho are working to create pollinator pathways around Newton through native 
 plantings. Their work includes educating residents and City departments ab
 out native\, pollinator-friendly plantings and maintaining several pollina
 tor gardens on public land.\n\nThis program is co-sponsored by the Newton
  Free Library\, Newton Community Pollinator Project (NCPP)\, Newton Conser
 vators\, Friends of Cold Spring Park\, Newton Department of Parks\, Recrea
 tion &amp\; Culture\, Green Newton\, Friends of Nahanton Park\, and Mother
