Gail Olson will discuss the importance of using native plants in your home gardens and using a method called Winter Sowing to enhance your seed germination this winter.
Gail is a member of both the Washington County Master Gardeners and founder of the Wild Ones Appalachian Highlands Chapter.
Gail enjoys creating wildlife habitat in her gardens at home by using native plants and management practices to enhance those habitats. She shares this knowledge in habitat classes for Master Gardeners and helping with local public native gardens, such as the Damascus Trail Center.
The presentation on Winter Sowing will be followed by the seed swap. Many local gardeners, organizations, and farms will have seed to share. Feel free to bring your own seeds to swap with others, although this is not a requirement.
The event is co-sponsored by Sustain Abingdon, Washington County Master Gardeners, and Wild Ones Appalachian Highlands.
