CANTON -- "Start Your Garden Seedlings Indoors & Learn How to Transplant: A Hands-on, How-to Workshop" will be held Sunday, April 24.

It is part of the seasonally-based series of Rural & Resourceful Living Skills Workshops from the Local Living Venture.

If you've always wanted to grow your own vegetables and flowers, this is an opportunity to learn the basics of planting seeds and much more from one of the most experienced organic gardeners in the North Country.

The workshop will be led by Birdsfoot Organic Farm coordinator and experienced market gardener Dulli Tengeler and will be held near Canton.

Attendees will learn what containers to use for what plants, how to make home made potting soil from compost, how to fill containers and seed different crops (including some flowers). They will also transplant some vegetables and herbs as well as learn about timing the seeding, planting seedlings out, and different varieties.

Participants will be able to take home several organic seedlings of their own from the workshop. The generous sponsor for this event is the Potsdam Agway Garden Center; providing organic potting soil, pots, seeds and more in a friendly atmosphere.

This session is from 1 to 3 p.m. with an optional farm tour to follow. A second session may be added if there's overflow. Attendance is limited so an RSVP is needed for the workshop location to be shared.
