Chapters in Indiana

We'll be sorting and packaging seeds to be distributed to local seed libraries and at Wild Ones events (as a volunteer packager you'll get first dibs on some for yourself). This is a good opportunity to get to know other members, talk gardening plans, and learn about the seed collection process. Light refreshments will be served; feel free to bring something shareable. Please RSVP Barbara Kerby ([email protected] or text 269-240-4165) Hope to see you there!

Growing native plants from seeds should be royally fun but can instead be a royal pain in the aster if you don’t know some key information. This month's Wild Ones presentation by Barbara Kerby covers the benefits and pitfalls of growing native plants from seed. After a quick overview of collecting and preserving native seeds, we’ll discuss the different ways to get seedlings started and why knowing when to sow is so important. We’ll review how to maintain a from-seed garden, no matter the size. Starting native seeds– you’ll grow to love it!
