Greenwich Land Trust is planning a variety of fall programs, designed to get us outside, teach us about nature and help us enjoy the open space throughout our community.
Fall is for seed saving! Join GLT's Steve Conaway, PhD for a Seed-to-Seed series of workshops to learn about the diverse species of native plants, the different ways to harvest and propagate their seeds, and techniques for producing new plants in your garden. Come to one or all three!
Tuesday, November 6 @ 3:30 - 5 pm
Seed-to-Seed Learning Series: Seed Saving from Native Plants
Learn how to propagate native plants and why they are important to our local habitats. Participants will leave with their own "pocket greenhouse" filled with local wildflower species ready to germinate in the spring.
Thursday, November 15 @ 10 am - 12 pm
Seed-to-Seed Learning Series: Winter Habitat in the Native Garden
Native plants provide food and shelter to local wildlife in all seasons. Take a tour of GLT's Mueller Preserve native plant gardens to discuss the best ways to provide winter habitat and support the maximum diversity of organisms. Participants will build supplementary habitat for native bees from natural materials.
Seed-to-Seed Learning Series: Native Shrubs and Trees from Cuttings
Many native shrubs and trees can be propagated from simple cut stems and branches. Learn about the techniques used for different native plant species to produce new plants for your own garden. GLT will be partnering with the Greenwich Botanical Center for this informative workshop.
Location: Greenwich Land Trust @ the Mueller Preserve, 370 Round Hill Road, Greenwich
Cost: Free for GLT members; $10/session for non-member families.
