To launch our brand new Little Seed Library project in Clayton, we will be offering a workshop on starting indoor seeds. And even though this first workshop cannot be hosted in-person as originally planned due to the current health orders, we will try and give you all the neccessary tools to start the season via an online presentation.

Starting your own plants from seed is fun, fascinating and a great way to save money on plants for your garden. As well as getting a jump on the rather short Vancouver growing season, start­ing seeds gives you access to growing a wide variety of unusual, new or heirloom plants that are not readily available at most garden centres or big box stores.

In this 90-minute workshop, in addition to learning tips, techniques and tools helpful in seed starting, you will learn how to:

• choose appropriate seeds for your garden
• understand the difference between heirloom, hybrid and GMO seeds
• start easy vegetables such as tomatoes & peppers
• prepare soil mix, understand plant needs and soil fertility
• water, provide proper temperature and lighting
• transplant and troubleshoot
