It is winter, and you are dreaming of gardening…. Why not start your seeds now! This free (online) event will explain the process of a winter sow, a terrific method for starting seeds earlier than you thought possible. Sow your seeds in a milk jug that becomes a mini greenhouse that allows the seeds to germinate several weeks ahead of direct sowing. The plants are sown in their mini greenhouse outside, eliminating the need to harden seedlings off. You will learn about the importance of pollination systems in our natural places. How to support declining species of native pollinators in your yard, in public spaces and on conservation lands. A winter sow is an economical and easy way of providing native plant seedlings for a native pollinator conservation garden.

EnergizeWayland is pleased to have Freddie Gillespie, an environmental problem solver and activist for 20 years at both the local and regional levels and the Chair of the Native Pollination Systems Task Force of the MetroWest Conservation Alliance.
