January Winter Seed Sowing Workshop at Turkey Hill Farm 2025

Date: Friday January 24th, 2024

Time: 2:00-4:00 PM 

Location: Wild Seed Project Native Seed Center, 120 Old Ocean House Road, Cape Elizabeth, ME. 

Join us at our Native Seed Center at Turkey Hill Farm for seed saving and sowing! We will focus on how to process native perennial seeds to prepare them for winter. We will also learn about the diverse plants that grow here in Maine and their unique seed collection and seed sowing processes. We will guide a hands-on exploration of the many steps of growing native plants from seed, and establishing diverse landscapes using seed-grown plants. 

We’ll explore the grounds to identify native plants you may (or may not!) recognize and demonstrate ecologically-responsible seed collecting practices for those plants. Then participants will get to practice winter seed sowing themselves, taking home a pots of sown seeds and leaving a pot of sown seeds at the Seed Center. Get ready to learn the best practices for keeping your seeds outside for the winter.

We are adding a sliding scale to all of our Wild Seed Project programs. Please choose the option that works best for you.
