Norwood Seed Library, in partnership with the Morrill Memorial Library, is excited to announce a workshop on winter sowing at the library. The event is called Winter Sowing 101 and will take place on Saturday January 4, 2025 at 10am in the Simoni Room.

Join us for a hands-on workshop about winter seed sowing and the benefits of adding native plants to your yard. They are a favorite of the bees, butterflies, birds and other pollinators! Native seeds that have evolved in the New England climate often require cold stratification. Participants will plant two milk jugs with native seeds and learn how to winter sow seeds; no gardening experience is required. Supplies will be provided.

About the presenter: Kelsey Quinlan is a Norwood resident and gardener. She volunteers on the town Conservation Commission and Sustainability Committee.

This program is open to all. Children under 12 need to be accompanied by an adult.
