UMaine Extension offers starting seeds indoors workshop in February

University of Maine Cooperative Extension is hosting a Starting Seeds Indoors workshop designed to provide participants with the best practices for growing seedlings indoors. The free course will be offered in both virtual and in-person formats.

The in-person workshop will be held from 1-2:30 p.m. Feb. 10 at the Bangor Public Library, 145 Harlow St. The course will provide participants with hands-on experience and the opportunity to sow a pot of seeds to take home. Space is limited to 25 participants, and pre-registration is required.

A virtual workshop will take place from 6-7:30 p.m. Feb. 15. Participants will have the opportunity to learn how to develop a personalized seed starting calendar based on Maine weather conditions and receive practical tips for the small-scale home gardener. Pre-registration is required, and a recording of the workshop will be shared with all pre-registered participants.

Led by Kate Garland, UMaine Extension horticulture professional, the comprehensive workshops are perfect for both beginner and experienced gardeners looking to enhance their seed starting skills.
