The Spring Equinox represents a time of renewal, fertility, and rebirth. In agricultural societies, the spring equinox marks the start of the planting season, when crops are sown and farmers begin preparing for the coming season of growth.

We start almost all of our starts using soil blockers, they are wonderful! Grow your own flowers to enjoy all summer, or veggies. Bring your own seeds that you would like to grow or you can choose from what we’ll have on hand (if you bring your own make sure you’re starting them at the correct time!). Flower options we’ll most likely have are - Calendula, Cosmos, Amaranth, Bachelor Buttons, Zinnias and more.

The small soil blocker makes one set of twenty 3/4” blocks.

• Easy to use and makes an indention for seed sowing

• Eliminates transplant shock

• High rate of germination

• Earlier blooming and fruiting

• Environmentally friendly

• Space efficient

• We use this size blocker 95% of the time in starting flowers, herbs, and vegetable seeds

In this workshop we will show you how to use the amazing soil blocker. We will be using a 20 cell soil blocker to start seeds you can then take home and nurture until it is time to transplant them. Only small seeds will work with this size, so if you want to bring larger seeds like peas, I will have a larger soil blocker you are welcome to use but please bring your own larger tray (no holes).

What is provided:

• Various flower seeds to choose from.

• Seed starting soil.

• The use of our soil blocks. This is a way to test it out to see if it’s for you! Then you can buy your own when you’re ready. Ask any questions you have!

• A small tray to put the soil blocks in.

• Up to 40 mini soil blocks can be made to take home, that’s a lot of flowers and veggies!

• Instructions on how to continue nurturing them at home

• Tea and a light snack included.
