Description: Native Seed Collection and Planting Workshop
Location: Cordell Hull Birthplace State Park
Do you love native flowers and want to support wildlife and biodiversity but don’t know where to start? Join Ranger Lauren for a native seed collection and planting workshop!
This program is recommended for adults who would like to learn the basics of native seed collection and planting.
During this program we will discuss the importance of native flowers, ethics surrounding seed collection, what and what not to collect, where and how to collect, seed preparation, planting and storage of seeds. After our discussion we will look at seeds collected from our pollinator garden such as butterfly weed, purple coneflower, and wild bergamot. In our hands-on portion of the class, you will demonstrate what you've learned by collecting seeds that you are able to take home for your garden.
This is a 1.5 hour program. To make the most of this experience, we recommended dressing comfortably for indoor/outdoor activities, wearing sturdy walking shoes, and bringing water.
In the event of inclement weather this program will be cancelled.
