Sat, October 11, 2025
11:00 am - 11:00 pm


Instructor: Elia Woods

Many native perennials need specific conditions in order for their seeds to germinate. Warm or cold stratification, scarification, and other techniques can seem intimidating, but they are simply ways to imitate natural cycles, and will greatly increase success in getting those tiny seeds to sprout! Elia will demonstrate each of these methods, and share how to figure out what to use and when. Participants will have the opportunity to prepare a sample of perennial seeds to take home and plant.

Instructor: Elia Woods is the happy proprietor of a small native plant nursery. She plants thousands of perennials from seed every year. She loves spending winter days in her greenhouse, surrounded by tiny seedlings and sleeping cats.
