About the event

Participants will learn how to winter sow native seeds using a container made from a recycled gallon jug. This method allows seeds to get an early start in a miniature DIY greenhouse. Winter-sown seedlings are hardy and easy to transplant in the spring after frost.


Please register so we can plan for materials to make one seed starting container with the native species of your choice. The available native species are Purple coneflower (Echinacea purpurea), Butterfly weed (Asclepias tuberosa), and Swamp milkweed (Asclepias incarnata), Showy milkweed (Asclepias speciosa), Hollow-Joe Pye Weed (Eutrochium fistulosum), Golden Alexander (Zizea aurea), Rattlesnake Master (Eryngium yuccifolium L),Foxglove Beardstongue(Penstemon digitalis) and more.


Many of the seeds have been harvested from the (WCMW) Warren County Monarch Waystation.

Please register by calling: 270-842-1681Donations will be accepted. Proceeds are to benefit the Warren County Monarch Waystation
