Winter sowing is a wonderful way to expand our native plant gardens. In this timely workshop, participants will learn how to collect, prepare, and sow native plant seeds for Winter propagation as well as how to care for them from seedling to soil.
Presenter Chris Migliaccio will bring and demonstrate use of all relevant materials and will have seeds of up to a dozen straight native species to give away (as supplies last). Participants who wish to bring seeds home should bring a Sharpie (or similar marker) and several sealable plastic snack-size bags or letter-size envelopes. We will have a few extras on hand if you forget.
In lieu of printed handouts, a PDF file with photos and text describing the protocals and setup will be shared digitally with all registered participants the day after the workshop. We will also post the PDF to our chapter website on the “Topics” page.

Seed Collection and Garden Tour for Chapter Members and "Plus Ones" Members Only
Hosted by Wild Ones Greater Richmond Virginia ChapterPrivate residence in northwest Powhatan
Members Only Home Garden Tour
The chapter will host a Seed Sharing event and an autumn garden tour for chapter members and "plus ones" (interested guests of chapter members).
We're invited to tour a property in northwestern Powhatan county where the owners are replanting a wood line with native plants along with other groupings of native plants. Their method for "rewilding" will be demonstrated, plus there will be opportunities to collect seeds. Guests are encouraged to bring seeds, seedlings, and/or planting pots to share. Light refreshments will be served after the morning tour.
Since this event will take place at a private home/garden, we ask that chapter members RSVP to help the host plan for adequate seating, refreshments, etc. The property is on a private gravel road with ample parking. An invitation with the specific location will be sent to chapter members in mid-October.
