Winter Sowing of Native Plants

Saturday, Jan 10, 2026, 10am-11:30am

Winter is a great time to sow native seeds. Many native seeds need to be exposed to prolonged cold and moist conditions to break their dormancy and germinate. Join us as we introduce you to native plants and guide you through this hands-on, 6-step process. You’ll leave with a pot of native perennial seeds that will grow all year and be ready to plant in your garden next fall.

Location: NH Audubon's Massabesic Center, 26 Audubon Way, Auburn, NH

Presenters:
Donna Miller, UNH Extension Advanced Master Gardener
Stacey Scaccia, UNH Extension Master Gardener

Cost:
$10 for NH Audubon members and UNH Ext. Master Gardeners
$15 for non-members
