Let's Talk Gardening:  Seed Starting at The Harbor Community Center

Let's get ready to bloom! Join our Master Gardener Volunteers for a fun and informative hands-on workshop. Learn tips and techniques for starting garden plants from seed.
Bring your own seed packets - whatever you want to grow - and clean, empty see-through containers.
Recycled plastic boxes from berries, tomatoes or other grocery store produce work well for this.
