This workshop took place at Urban Roots on Saturday, March 15, 2008 at 2pm at Urban Roots with Richard Price. WE had 40 people in attendance!

The description:

This hands-on presentation on organic seedling production will get you started, or fine-tune your home seed-starting techniques. Workshop will cover: soil mixes, lighting and heat requirements, potting-up, equipment and supplies, seedling care…etc, and an opportunity to start some plants. (materials provided.)

Why start-your-own? You’ll have the experience and satisfaction of doing it yourself, and the knowledge that your vegetable and ornamental seedlings are:

  • Organically grown
  • Properly tended
  • The varieties you want to grow.

Richard Price has 35 years of organic gardening experience, he is a former NOFA-certified organic market gardener, and a Member of the Seedsavers’ Exchange.
