Don’t rely on pre-grown plants; start your own garden from scratch with this workshop.

From Rutgers Cooperative Extension

What: A one-day workshop that teaches you how to start a seed successfully

When: Wednesday, Feb. 12 from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m.

Where: 355 Courthouse – South Dennis Road, Court House

Rutgers Cooperative Extension of Cape May County Department of Agriculture and Natural Resources will hold the workshop Seed Starting and Seedling Care on Wednesday, February 12 from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. at Rutgers Cooperative Extension of Cape May County. This is the second workshop in the series, “Start Your Gardens: Everything you need to know about starting a vegetable garden from planning & planting to harvesting,” takes place in February. Classes are open to all skill levels and take place at the RCE Office, 355 Courthouse – South Dennis Road, Cape May Court House.

The main instructor is Jen Sawyer Caraballo, Program Associate, Rutgers Cooperative Extension of Cape May County. “Over the past four years we have seen a definite increase in the number of people reaching out to our office about growing vegetables at home.  What better way to help budding gardeners than with classes that help attendees get set up for a successful growing season,” Caraballo said.

Participants at the “Seed Starting & Seedling Care” class will learn seed starting indoors versus direct sowing, selecting seed starting supplies and equipment, and seedling care. The cost to attend is $15 and includes seed starts to take home from the hands-on portion of the workshop. To register for the February 12 class, go to https://go.rutgers.edu/bnid4a8q.
