Community Talks

As volunteer educators, Extension Master Gardeners give a variety of gardening-related talks throughout the community. If your organization is seeking a speaker, please send a request through our speakers bureau.

Here’s what we have coming up:

Starting Seeds Indoors

Saturday, April 15 at 11 a.m.

Handley Library, 100 Picadilly St., Winchester

Did you know that Handley and Bowman both have free seed libraries that are stocked by the Northern Shenandoah Valley Master Gardener Association? Join us in the Benham Gallery at Handley Library and learn how to grow your own vegetables and flowers by starting seeds indoors.

Attendees will learn the benefits and best practices for starting plants indoors from seeds from local master gardeners. We will learn about requirements for successful germination, different growing methods and mediums, light and temperature needs, overcoming common problems, hardening off seedlings for transplanting into the garden, and best practices to ensure seedlings successfully grow into healthy mature plants.

This workshop is designed for adult beginning gardeners or adult gardeners who are new to raising plants from seeds indoors. There will be a presentation and discussion of best practices and a demonstration. Participants will leave with containers of vegetables to raise in their home.

Space is limited to 20 participants.

 

Seed Saving

Saturday, September 23

Handley Library, 100 Picadilly St., Winchester

Please check back for details closer to the day of the talk.
