Seed Chat: Wildflowers

Zoom Webinar A link to log in to the event will be sent in separate email.

Who doesn’t love wildflowers? Contrary to popular belief you don’t toss wildflowers on your land and hope they grow. Like most crops they need special tending to get them started. If you are really daring, you might mimic the patterns of the plants whose seeds you want to sprout. But keep in mind wild plants put out thousands of seeds because so many don’t make it. They are looking for the odds to be in their favor. Oh and organic wildflower seeds? Sorry you will probably have to make your own. So many wonderful things can happen when we learn the dance of wildflower propagation. Come Chat with Us
