Join us to learn an easy way to grow native plants for your home garden. Abby Deneau, ecological restoration enthusiast, will show us a method to overcome winter dormancy in native seeds.

In this hands-on workshop, you will create, and take home, your own gallon jug of winter sown native wildflower seeds. Leave the jug outside and the seeds will sprout in the spring! All of the supplies are provided. Donations are welcome, but not required. If you can bring your own empty milk jug, that would be helpful.

This event is brought to you by Mid-Michigan CISMA, the Haslett Community Church Green Team, and Wild Ones Red Cedar Chapter. This event is free and open to the public.

Inter-Tribal Council of Michigan invites families with children ages 0-5 years living in Ingham County to Native Family Engagement Events focused on culturally-based nutrition and health.
