Roeliff Jansen Community Library, in partnership with the Cornell Cooperative Extension of Columbia and Greene counties, is sponsoring a series of three “Back to Nature” seminars conducted by Master Gardener volunteers.
The first offering in the series, “Seed Starting Essentials & Seed Swap,” will take place Sunday, March 17, from 1 to 3 p.m. at the library and will be presented by Maureen Mooney, a retired nurse who has been a Master Gardener as part of the Columbia and Greene counties volunteer organization for 12 years.
Participants in the presentation will learn about seed starting essentials, best practices for successful germination of seeds, caring for seedlings, and how to transition the seedlings into the garden in the spring. A seed swap will follow the presentation and participants are invited to bring their favorite seeds to share.
The seminar is free and open to the public. For more information, contact the Roe Jan Library at 518-325-4101. For guidelines on seed swapping, go to: www.roejanlibrary.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/S...
