In this hands-on class, you’ll create soil blocks for seed starting. This simple, low-cost method produce strong, resilient seedlings without the need for pots. Avoid plastics and encourage air pruning for successful transplants.

What You’ll Learn

Use her soil blockers to make seed-starting blocks for the GROWtogether garden as well as your own, if you'd like.
Get practice and I'll guide you to build your soil-blocking skills.
See my seed starting set-up and learn how I care for the blocked seedlings.
To make your own soil blocks to bring home, please bring a bag of your favorite potting soil (or contact host for suggestions -she will contact participants with ideas as well), and a solid like a 10" x 20" plant tray to carry them on.
