Make Your Own Seed Packets with Explore Ecology

Make beautiful and functional Seed Packets out of reuse material with Angie, Explore Ecology Garden Educator.  Angie will show us how to make seed packets to share with friends and to collect seeds for our spring gardens. You can also use them to collect paper treasures, too! We will also be demonstrating how to label your seeds, safely store them, and check their germination rates. If you would like to participate in the germination test demo, please bring 10 to 20 seeds you’ve saved from the same plant variety, a paper towel, a plastic food container with a lid, and a sharpie.
