Have you wanted to learn how to start some of your edible garden plants from seed? Experienced gardener and farmer Teresa Davis of Joyful Land Farm in Elmwood, Wisconsin will share the basics of starting seeds for your home garden. Class topics will include what types of plants can be started from seed, how to prepare and plant a seed starting tray, taking care of your seedlings as they grow, and hardening off the seedlings to prepare for planting in a pot or in the ground. You will have the opportunity to start a small tray of seeds to take home and nurture into delicious food. There will also be plenty of time for questions. The class price includes the supply cost to create your own seed starting kit, and you will take home a six-cell seed starting tray and lid with seed starting soil and a variety of planted tomato, pepper, and herb seeds.
