A2WO- Annual Seed Cleaning Workshop and Exchange
Online/Virtual
Join us for our annual native seed cleaning and exchange. Our guide this year will be Mike Kost, a new Native Plant Specialist at University of Michigan, Matthaei Botanical Gardens (MBG), and Nichols Arboretum In addition, he is one of the authors of the recently published: A Field Guide to the Natural Communities of Michigan.
We will be working in the greenhouse with simple tools and equipment, much of which you can duplicate at home. Bring your extra native seeds to share, and you can take home seed to help with your own projects. Of particular interest is the venerated burning of the milkweed fluff.
We will be helping Mike Kost to clean their seed harvest for the Great Lakes Garden. This acre plus garden of regional plants and trees (within the fencing) at the MBG is still young. Come and help. Have some fun. Enjoy the chance to mix and mingle during the quiet months.
Free and open to the public. Come early and enjoy a stroll through the tropics as the Conservatory will be open until 8PM.
