Seed To Community May Up-Potting: Barn Adjacent to the Meri Lou Recreation Center

Join us for a fun community event where you can learn how to up-pot or plant your seedlings like a pro! Bring your seedlings or learn with a few from the community - either way, you'll leave with the knowledge and skills to keep your green friends happy and healthy. Don't miss out on this opportunity to connect with fellow nature lovers and grow your native gardening skills!

Don't despair if your container looks barren, just smile and bring them anyway. Our community will happily share our bounty and send everyone home with little Seedlings.

Remember that this series is intended as a big experiment in community scaling, we are caretakers, not really owners. The organizers hope you can practice flexibility as we work through the excitement and unpredictability of nature. We will have trays and soil, water and space to work.

This is a donation-supported event and we encourage all to support the cause as they can.

Take stock: Participants come together and review our available species and quantities. Train on up-potting techniques and practices. Discuss and consider equitable distribution, taking only what you need and considering others as you select.

Up-Potting: Everyone deserves nature, no matter how green their thumb currently is. Our hope is that everyone will be able to match their interest and site conditions.

Community up-potting: Unlike earlier events, we will not be up-potting everything by the end of the event. Winter Sowing containers enable seedlings to be placed directly in the ground. Up-Potting is only necessary if you or your project are trying to grow more final plants. We will help you judge. This juggling is new to us, but so exciting.
