In this hands-on class, you’ll create Seed Snails and milk-jug planters to start hardy vegetables and flowers outdoors—even in winter. These simple, low-cost methods produce strong, resilient seedlings with less work and fewer indoor supplies.

What You’ll Learn

How to build and plant your own Seed Snails and milk-jug mini-greenhouses
Which vegetables and flowers thrive using winter sowing methods
Why winter-sown seedlings grow stronger and need less hardening off
How to label, water, and care for your seedlings until transplant time
Sustainable ways to reuse everyday materials for productive gardening
You'll take home your own Seed Snail sample, and if you want to plant a milk jug mini-greenhouse, please bring an empty translucent milk or water jug. You'll also help us plant more seedlings for the community garden beds!
