Medicinal Native Plants and Soil Blocking Workshop
Public Welcome Registration Required Free Event Hands-On/How-To Workshop Public Restroom Free Public Parking
Native plants have been used for their medicinal properties for 1000’s of years. Casie Martinez will share her knowledge of native plants that are easy to find in this area. She will describe when to use the plants and how to prepare them. Casie is a member of both the Washington County Master Gardeners and the Wild Ones Appalachian Highlands chapter; both organizations are sponsoring this event.
Seed blocking helps reduce plastic waste and encourages strong root development, making it an eco-friendly and effective way to start seeds. Participants will use the soil block makers to press soil into blocks, then plant their chosen seeds in each block. Afterward, they can take their blocks home and care for their seedlings until they're ready to transplant into their gardens.
Space will be limited, so please note that registration is required by March 8, 2026. Registration is open now - email Casie Martinez ([email protected]) to register. You will be notified if the class is full.
