Perennial Seed Sowing Workshop
Saturday, October 24, 2026 at 5:00pm
Join us in the Glassroom on October 24, 2026 at 5:00pm for a course on perennial seed starting!
Fall is the perfect time to sow many perennial seeds, and there’s fascinating biology behind why! In this hands on workshop, we’ll explore cold stratification, dormancy, and the natural cues that tell a seed when it’s time to wake up and grow.
You’ll sow your own flat of perennial seeds to take home, along with the knowledge to care for it through the winter and encourage a whole new crop of perennials to emerge next spring and plant in your garden!
Come get your hands in the soil and discover how a little fall preparation can turn into a garden full of new plants come spring!
Two Ticket Options:
Class Only Ticket- $20/person.
Come, listen and learn and go home with a tray of freshly potted perennial seeds and the knowledge of how to care for them over winter to start the spring with healthy new plants for your garden
Class AND Extra Seeds Ticket- $40/person.
Come, listen and learn and go home with a tray of freshly potted perennial seeds and the knowledge of how to care for them over winter to start the spring with healthy new plants for your garden AND go home with a great selection of native perennial seeds
Children's Frankstein Feet Workshop

Frankenstein’s Feet – Plant Parts & How They Work
Part of our Halloween + Nature Week for Kids!
Get ready for a spooky plant adventure! Kids will discover the amazing “body parts” of plants - the roots, stems, leaves, and more - and learn exactly what each one does to keep a plant alive and thriving. We’ll even peek inside real leaves to see their hidden vascular system (the plant’s version of veins and arteries) by carefully clearing the soft tissue so the tiny pathways stand out.
Then it’s time to play mad scientist. Every child builds their own “Frankenstein Plant” on a canvas board, attaching the correct parts in the right places using pipe cleaners, felt, buttons, and other craft materials. The finished creation looks hilariously stitched together, just like Frankenstein's Monster, and ready for Halloween!
During the course, we will experiment with celery stalks and colored water to discover how water travels up plants, followed by a fast-paced, interactive game.
Hands on, hilarious, and packed with real science - your child will leave knowing more about plants than most adults, and with a one-of-a-kind Frankenstein creation to take home! Spots fill quickly, so sign up now and let your kid bring a plant to life this Halloween!

You’ll plant your own pot of paperwhites to take home - ready to perfume your house in just a few weeks - and leave knowing exactly how to keep them happy while they grow, the little tricks that keep the stems from flopping over like they’ve had one too many eggnogs, and what to do once the blooms fade. Perfect for beginners, plant lovers, and anyone who wants a little living magic on the windowsill through the gloomy winter months!
