Have you wanted to start your own flowers from seed or tried and they haven’t been successful? Adria will discuss what annuals are, which ones you can start now and which annuals you can start later for spring. She will discuss basic seed starting practices and successfully transitioning them to the garden.
About Adria
My career so far has helped me realize my mission to educate and connect anyone who wants to grow something with solid and reliable plant information, gardening advice, food preservation advice and a little cooking inspiration. There’s lots of crazy information on the internet and no consistent reliable source. I am here to change that.
