Make a wildflower nursery kit at Bonnyvale

November 23 @ 1:00 pm - 3:30 pm

WEST BRATTLEBORO, Vt. – Join Bonnyvale Environmental Education Center on Saturday, Nov. 23, to make a wildflower nursery kit.

Pollinator evangelist Jane Collister has been spreading the gospel of gardening. She makes kits that can be used to launch a diverse native plant plot that bees and butterflies will flock to. Kits include 12 pots, quality soil, wildflower seeds (bee balm, echinacea, lavender hyssop, black-eyed Susan and others) and a wooden frame covered on one side with garden mesh. The frame protects the seeds from birds and mice when they are put outside to harden off.

At the workshop, we will learn from Jane, construct the frames, fill pots with soil, and make seed packets. Kits include step-by-step instructions on how to start and maintain your nursery through the seasons. The kits require little effort, and supply everything needed to produce a bounty of seedlings – enough to plant an 8′ x12′ plot.

To register, head to www.beec.org.
