Direct Sowing, Transplanting, and Hardening Off Workshop
2023-04-16 13:00 - 15:00 | Grays Harbor County Fairgrounds – Borden Seabert Exhibition Building, 32 Elma McCleary Rd, Elma, WA, 98541, United States
The Master Gardeners of Grays Harbor and Pacific Counties are presenting Direct Sowing, Transplanting and Hardening Off Workshop. Join us Sunday, April 16th from 1:00 – 3:00 PM in the Borden Seabert Exhibition Building (also known as The Dog Barn), located behind the Pavilion at the Grays Harbor Fairgrounds in Elma. This workshop will include hands-on activities.
In this workshop attendees will learn which crop seeds are best direct sown and when; and which crops do better if they are allowed to germinate indoors. Those seedlings that are grown indoors eventually need to be transplanted and slowly allowed to adjust to the out of doors through a repetitive process called hardening off. Attendees will learn how to handle and transplant fragile seedlings.
Thanks to the information provided by recent workshop participants on their evaluations we have added more topics to the upcoming Transplanting & Hardening Off workshop. These added topics include:
• Crop succession, for a longer season of production
• Intercropping to support higher rates pollination & plant health
• Flower seeds that can be sown now and do well in our climate
• Beneficial insects
• Container and other non-traditional ways go grow a garden
As with our prior workshops, we will have presentations and activities that are suitable for all ages.
We will be transplanting, using seedlings from the MASTER GARDENERS demo garden, so everyone will have new plants to take home with them. PLEASE LEAVE YOUR MILK JUGS AT HOME
