Easy Seed Starting Online runs March 1 through July 15, 2022. You can start anytime in that window but it is best to start by June 1st.

Easy Seed Starting In-Person, Floral Studio Experience is Saturday March 12, 2022 from 10 am to 2 pm

Easy Seed Starting In-Person participants have access to the online course as well.  

The online workshop is self-paced. You follow a series of step-by-step videos that walk you through the process of starting seeds, raising seedlings, and planting them into your garden. The workshop has a large Facebook support group and live Zoom Q&A sessions that Nan Sterman hosts twice a month.

The in-person workshop (sold out for 2022) is the online workshop PLUS a half day, hands-on experience. During the hands-on, you'll plant your entire spring/summer vegetable garden from seed, then take it home ready to sprout. In-person, enjoy lunch with Nan and your fellow Seed Starters, too.

For the on-line workshop, log in to the Easy Seed Starting Online website to find the video series. Work through the videos on your own schedule and at your own pace up until July 15th. Twice a month, Nan holds a live Q & A session on Zoom. Once you log into the workshop, you’ll find the Zoom calendar with dates and times. In addition, our online community of veteran Seed Starters offer their support and wisdom as well.

For the in-person, hands-on workshops (‭sold out for 2022), Nan leads you through the planting process in person. You take home your entire garden, seeded and ready to sprout.  You also have access to the video series, live Q & A sessions, and online community of veteran Seed Starters.

You have access to the workshop videos until July 15, 2022. By then, you should have completed planting your summer vegetable garden. That marks the end of the workshop. You have lifetime access to the online Seed Starter community.
