Learn how to start your plants from seeds. This program is for the home gardener with any level of experience. You will learn how to select seeds, increase germination rates, create the proper environment for growing, and time when to start seeds and when to move plants into the garden. Techniques are applicable to annual and perennial flowers, and spring and fall vegetables. This program will be taught by Bonnie Refinski-Knight, a certified Extension Master Gardener℠ volunteer.
