Learn About Seed Starting for Native Plants at Rutgers Cooperative Extension
Cape May Court House – Rutgers Cooperative Extension of Cape May County Department of Agriculture and Natural Resources will hold the workshopSeed Starting: Native Plants on, Tuesday, March 24 from 6 to 8pm at Rutgers Cooperative Extension of Cape May County, 355 Courthouse – South Dennis Road, Cape May Court House, NJ 08210.
The presenter will be Jen Sawyer Caraballo, ANR Program Associate II, RCE Cape May County. Caraballo said, “More and more people are interested in learning about plants that are native to our area. This class will focus on Yarrow, Agastache, Monarda, and Echinacea.”
Participants of Seed Starting: Native Plants, part of the Garden & Grow workshop series, will learn the basics of seed starting, when to start seeds indoors, how to select equipment, and seedling care. Also, everyone who attends the presentation will sow their own seed starter kit to take home.
“Not all native varieties are available as plants, so starting your garden from seed gives you more varieties to choose from and can be more economical than buying only started plants. Plus, growing your own plants can be a very satisfying endeavor,” added Sawyer Caraballo.
This is a beginner class; therefore, no experience is needed. The cost to attend is $15.Pre-register and pay at https://go.rutgers.edu/c8618muy.
