It may be cold outside, but now is a great time to start making plans for your garden this year.  Join Boone County Master Gardener Jennifer Crider as she discusses the process of starting your seeds indoors so they are ready to go for the growing season.  After the presentation we will participate in a seed swap and explore the process of winter seed sowing.

Time: 6 PM
Location:  Boone County Extension Meeting Room
                 205 Cadillac Ct. Suite 5, Belvidere

Seed Swap
Bring your own seeds to share with others and take seeds home for this year's garden. Don't have seeds? No problem.  Come anyway. Seeds can be for flowers, vegetables, herbs, grasses, bulbs, etc. We ask that your seeds are non-GMO and are labeled with enough information about them so that those who take them are well informed about what they are getting.

Winter Seed Sowing
Make and take your own seed sowing container using milk jugs. Start your seeds before you leave class. (one milk jug per person)

If you need a reasonable accommodation to participate in this program, please contact Judy Hodge, Program Coordinator at hodg@illinois.edu or 815-544-3710. Early requests are encouraged to allow time to meet your needs.
