About the event:
Our speaker will be MonaRae Tuhy, a 3rd Level Master Gardener and local expert on growing here in the Flathead. At this workshop we will learn:
- Learn what to look for when ordering seeds from catalogs;
- Address our optimum planting and maturity dates. What you read on the seed packet may not be the best directions for your garden area.
- Learn how to make seed tapes, an easier way to plant your garden. Bring some of your own favorite seeds or we will have some available for your use.
- By starting with your own seeds, you can be sure that your plants have been raised organically from first to last.
