Lawns Gone Wild: Seed Sowing with the Wild Seed Project

  • Prince Memorial Library 266 Main Street Cumberland, ME, 04021 United States (map)

Join us for the final session of this series, offered in partnership with the Prince Memorial Library and the Town of Cumberland’s Sustainability Committee. This event was postponed from 10/28.

Wild Seed Project offers up a hands-on workshop for anyone interested in learning more about the unique seed-collecting and seed-sowing processes required by native plants.

The event will be held at Prince Memorial Library. This class will begin outside with a walk, identifying different plants in the area and demonstrating ecologically responsible seed collecting practices for those plants. In the second part of the workshop, we will all practice winter seed sowing, and talk through the best practices for keeping your seeds outside for the winter. Each participant will sow two pots of seeds; one to take home with them, and one to stay at the new community orchard in Cumberland, to add to the plant diversity at this amazing community spot!
