GROWING PLANTS FROM SEEDS
MG GWEN
Growing plants from seeds is fun once you learn how, but it can be intimidating for beginners. Vegetables, herbs, fruits, flowers, cacti and many other plants can be grown from seeds. MG Gwen will teach you how to grow plants from seeds, the equipment needed, how to care for, harden off, and transplant your seedlings. Planting from seeds is a great way to start gardening earlier in the season, save money, and have a wider variety of plants in your garden.
