Join us for a hands-on workshop on wildflower seed harvesting from the green roofs.
Wildflower Seed Harvesting from the Green Roofs
At Kingsland Wildflowers, we want some of the seeds our plants produce to fall into the green roof soils, to grow into future blooms, but some are collected and shared. In this way, the flowers we grow we can share with the surrounding communities, in a small way helping to restore the ecosystems and beauty that once was abundant here. We’ll show you how to know when the timing is right to harvest wildflower seeds, how to sort and separate them and how to save them and prepare them for planting in your own garden. We’ll send you home with seeds of your own so bring some small jars if you’ve got them on hand, we also have plastic-free bags you can bring them home in too. This workshop will be led by NCA’s education and horticulture team.
