Seeds in the Snow
The Seeds in the Snow event will take place at the Effingham Library on Tuesday, December 2, at 5:30 p.m.
Get a head start on your spring garden — even in the middle of winter! Learn how to start seeds outdoors using simple recycled containers and the power of nature’s seasonal cycle. This beginner-friendly program will cover how to choose the right seeds, prepare mini-greenhouses, and care for your seedlings until planting time. This eco-friendly method is easy, inexpensive, and perfect for gardeners of all levels. Participants will leave with their own winter sowing container and the confidence to keep growing through the seasons!
The University of Illinois Master Gardener’s of Effingham County are demonstrating how to grow seeds in the winter. Everyone will get to make and take home a winter sown miniature garden.
Registration is required to make sure we have enough materials for everyone to make a garden to take home. Call the Effingham Library at 217-342-2464 to get your name on the list for this fun event.
