Winter Seed Sowing at Kidzeum
January 18 @ 10:30 am - 2:00 pm
On Saturday, January 18th, we’ll be learning all about plant life during the wintertime and beginning to grow our own gardens using native plants. Many native plant seeds need a period of cold, moist stratification to germinate. By planting them now, you let nature do the work for you!
What to Bring: A clean, transparent milk jug to create your own miniature greenhouse to take home.
What We Provide: Soil, seeds, and step-by-step instructions.
Event Highlights:
* Brief presentations at 10:30 AM and repeated at 1:00 PM.
* Drop in anytime between 10:30 AM and 2:00 PM to plant your seeds.
* Friendly volunteers from the Illinois Native Plant Society, Starhill Forest Arboretum, and Springfield Audubon Society will be available to assist and answer your questions.
Bonus: Additional local native seeds from 3 B Natives will be available for purchase in the gift shop.
Let’s grow something beautiful together for our pollinators and the planet!
