Urban Gardening Series 

Our Urban Gardening Series is a set of classes designed to help city dwellers grow healthy, sustainable, and beautiful urban gardens. Led by New England Wildflower Society staff in partnership with the Cambridge Conservation Commission, these free classes take place in the lecture hall at the Cambridge Public Library, 449 Broadway, Cambridge, MA 02138.

Growing Plants from Seed

Plants grown from seed have greater genetic diversity, are better adapted to their environment, and are less expensive to produce. In this class you will learn when and how to collect seeds in the wild; how to collect, clean, and store them; and how to sow and tend for them. Emphasis will be placed on species that can be grown easily and without fancy equipment or large investments of time. 

Sunday, March 6, 1:30 p.m. - 3:00 p.m. 

Instructor: Dan Jaffe, Propagator and Stock Bed Grower, New England Wild Flower Society
