Seed-starting class

Posted

LIBERTY, NY — New and seasoned gardeners alike can take advantage of a winter series of horticulture classes offered in the new year that begins with a seed-saving workshop on Thursday, January 21. Cornell Cooperative Extension Sullivan County (CCESC)’s Master Gardener Volunteer program will host this class from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. at its Gerald J. Skoda Extension Education Center at 64 Ferndale-Loomis Rd.

Adrianne Picciano, also known as the “Dirt Diva,” will teach participants how to save seeds for use next season. Instruction will also cover how to navigate through a seed catalog when ordering in preparation for spring. An informal seed-saving swap will be organized, and attendees can bring seeds home. Picciano is a farmer and professional gardener living in Sullivan County.

The cost is $20 per person or $15 per CCESC enrollee. Anyone can enroll in CCESC with an annual contribution of $25 per household. Space is limited and pre-registration with non-refundable payment is required. Seats are only guaranteed with payment. Scholarships are available to the public for this educational program, made possible through generous donations from Sullivan Renaissance.

Registration and more information can be completed by calling CCESC at 845/292-6180, emailing sullivan@cornell.edu, or visiting www.sullivancce.org. Payment can be made in advance by check, cash, or credit card. Additional donations for CCESC programs are appreciated.
