About In-Person Seed Starting Workshops
In these hands-on, in-person workshops, Nan teaches you all about seeds. She demonstrates the planting process then leads you through it step-by-step. You’ll get all your questions answered as you get dirty – in a good way.
Take a coffee (or tea) break part way through to enjoy a selection of delicious baked goods and other yummy surprises.
By time the end, you’ll have planted your entire garden, seeded and ready to sprout.
And that’s not all… Nan’s support continues. From the day of your workshop through July, you’ll have full access to
- The Easy Seed Starting Online video workshop series
- Bi-weekly coaching and Q & A sessions over Zoom
- The supportive community of experienced seed starters for help and encouragement.
From seed to seedling to transplant, Nan leads you every step of the way.
P.S. This is a wonderful opportunity to share an experience with a loved one, enjoy a fun project with friends, or give your favorite gardener a very special gift!
Testimonials
“I loved the one on one hands-on guidance and Nan’s generosity with her time and attention to each student.”
Kris
“This was such a great way to get started with my garden. Not only did I leave there with everything planted to start off my summer garden, but I had the tools, skills and confidence to continue this process myself throughout the year. This is a great workshop”
