Sip n’ Sow Winter Seed Sowing Workshop

Sip n’ Sow Seed Sowing Workshop
Cafe Amulet on the Square in Petersburg
January 29th from 6:00 to 8:00

Cafe Amulet has generously donated their event space for the Sip n’ Sow Winter Seed Sowing Workshop. Please show your support — come a little early to purchase a beverage.

Event Limited to 30 Registered Participants.

It’s never too soon to think of spring! Join some adult-only fun at the Sip n’ Sow Workshop! Sip a glass of wine and sow some native flower seeds for your summer garden.  Native plants attract pollinators and serve as butterfly host plants, including many species growing on the square in Petersburg. 

The evening will kick off with a slide presentation with photos and discussion of some of the species that will be available. Participants will then use the winter sowing technique to plant native species of their choosing. Seeds, soil, tools, and some containers provided. Participants are encouraged to bring additional CLEAN plastic milk jugs if you wish to plant multiple containers. 

Alana McKean (Starhill Forest Arboretum), Cindy Andreasen (Illinois Extension Master Gardener), and Terri Treacy (Menard County Trails & Greenways) will be leading the workshop. Bring your questions about gardening with native plants and any native seeds you wish to share!

No fee but donations appreciated! And, please support Cafe Amulet– come early and grab a beverage!
