Participants will pre-select their seeds for 18 starts (lettuce, tomato, basil, zinnias, etc.) prior to the workshop. Following a short presentation at the workshop, participants will plant the seeds in a mini greenhouse that they will take home. Attendees will receive a 1 - 10"X20" tray with greenhouse dome, 18 - 4" pots, seed starting mix and seeds.
