Raising plants from seed is a personally rewarding and cost effective way of growing plants. Whether your interests are growing for food, for beauty, for nature or just for the challenge this is something worth having a go at. This workshop is mainly designed for people not yet confident at raising their own seeds, but those further along their journey are welcome. Workshop presenters will be Community Garden members who guide the raising of thousands of plants from seed each year. Cost is $25 per participant.
