Wild Ones Greater Cleveland and Friends of Impett Park are teaming up to provide you this FREE educational hands-on workshop on native plant seed collection.
Come and collect seeds for your garden or donate the seeds to collect to Wild Ones Greater Cleveland for future community activities and projects!
We'll be collecting seeds from the 3000 sq ft native wetland garden and other sites as seed is available at this time.
This is a great opportunity to start the sequence of collecting, cleaning, packaging and winter sowing.
Logistics:
-Bring paper bags or small envelopes to collect seeds and dress for some off trail walking.
-Wear appropriate shoes/boots as it can get muddy, and wear clothes in preparation for some potential off-trail walking.
-Costumes are also welcome (though beware of mud).
-We will have snacks, cider & leftover candy from Halloween (and you are welcome to bring yours to share).
-We'll also have a craft for kids!
Possible seeds you might be able to get:
-Swamp rose mallow, Swamp milkweed, Cardinal flower, White turtlehead, Blue flag iris, Buttonbush, Joe pye weed, Golden alexander, Dogbane, Tall Goldenrod, Ironweed
