Register HERE anytime for next class

As your summer garden starts to slow down, it’s the perfect time to start dreaming about what’s next—and wildflowers, cover crops, and grains are full of possibilities!

Those open spots left behind after harvesting? They’re perfect for a fall planting of wildflowers. Not only do they add beauty and color, but they can also keep your garden buzzing with life by attracting pollinators. Cover crops aren’t just good for your soil—they can be stunning, too, and help support healthy future harvests.

Love having fresh flowers around the house? We’ll talk about which wildflowers are great for cutting and how to keep that fresh-picked feel going. And don’t forget about grains—they’re easy to save, beautiful in bouquets, and a fun way to mix things up in your garden.

Join Greg and Bill for this joyful journey through late-season planting ideas and seed-saving inspiration during August’s Seed Chat. Let’s end the season with beauty—and plant the seeds for even more to come!
