About the Event

Do you love to look at seed catalogs and seed packets but wonder which variety to plant? Or find yourself ripping open the seed packet only to cover the instructions with muddy fingerprints? Seed packets are one place where you do want to pay attention to the fine print, since they contain a wealth of information that can help you be more successful in your garden.

Join us for a lively discussion and analysis of seed packet terminology, where to look for details that will help you put the right plant in the right place at the right time, how and where to sow the seeds and, if you’re planting vegetables, when they’ll be ready for harvest. You’ll gain new appreciation for planting from seed–the right way!
