Join the University of Illinois Extension for a workshop all about Winter Sow!

Winter sowing is a fun and easy way to start seeds outside during the winter. You plant your seeds in miniature greenhouses made from recycled plastic containers, and then put them outside in the snow and freezing cold.

Once the weather starts to warm up in the spring, the seeds will germinate at their own pace, just as in nature. Sounds cool, right? It gets better!

Join Kankakee Master Gardener Program Coordinator Holly Froning for this awesome workshop! Registration costs $10 and includes all supplies.

If you need a reasonable accommodation to participate, please contact froning@illinois.edu. Early requests are strongly encouraged to allow sufficient time for meeting your access needs.
