Celebrate the first weekend of spring by learning how to grow flowers from seed for beautiful, well-timed blooms.

Join us for this hands-on session led by Kelly of Slater Road Farms, where we’ll focus on how to start flower seeds with intention — understanding planting time, bloom time, and how to choose the right varieties for our Zone 8a climate.

This class is designed for flower lovers who want more than just pretty seed packets — it’s about learning how to plan and plant so your garden blooms when you want it to.

What we’ll cover:

• Flower seed starting techniques
• Understanding planting time vs. bloom time
• Which flower varieties benefit from early starting
• Regional considerations for Zone 8a
• How to plan for continuous spring and early summer color

Hands-on element:

Each participant will go home with a Flower Planting Schedule created by Kelly (January–December) to help guide what to plant and when for the best results.

This session focuses on flowers rather than vegetables, with an emphasis on thoughtful planning and variety selection for spring blooms.

☕ Petrichor Coffee will be on-site from 8:30 AM–12:00 PM if you’d like to grab a cup before or after the session.
