SUMMARY:Triad Chapter Annual Seed Swap
DESCRIPTION:\nThe Triad seed swap and seed propagation demo is set for 6:30pm on December 4th at the Kathleen Clay Edwards Library Meeting Room (1420 Price Park Dr., Greensboro, NC 27410)\nWe will have refreshments, please bring a store bought food or drink to the library to share.\nAt the start of the meeting Farrell V. Moose will teach us about collecting native wildflower and shrub seeds from the wild in North Carolina. As well as tips for cleaning and successful germination of common wildflowers.\nHe is the owner of Dutch Buffalo Farm and teaches plant propagation for Central Carolina Community College. Unfortunately, our speaker will not be able to attend due to personal reasons. We are still planning a trip to Dutch Buffalo Farm for a tour in April.\nMany members are tremendously knowledgeable about saving and planting native seeds, so it’s a great opportunity to learn!  We are big on winter sowing, and hope everyone will grow more native plants!\nSeeds should be cleaned and brought in small sizes, such as envelopes, and labeled with common and botanical names, as well as any special planting instructions, as best you can.\nGrowing from seed keeps our plant populations healthy through diversity, not to mention having plenty of new plants to use on your own property or to share with others. Seed distribution takes place after the program, ending when all seeds are taken. This program is free and open to the public, all are welcome!\nPlease participate even if you don’t have any seeds to offer, as there are always plenty to share.\n\n\nWinter sowing (plantings and photo by Diane Laslie)\n\nTurtlehead, Chelone glabra, seedhead (photo by Lynda Waldrep). While most seeds should be allowed to dry and are best stored in paper bags in the refrigerator, some, like turtlehead, are best planted immediately so they don’t dry out. Turtlehead is also a bit unusual because unlike most seeds that tend to come out in one big flush, turtlehead seeds will continue germinating through the growing season if you keep the seed flat watered.\n \n\nSeed containers (photo by Lynda Waldrep)\n \n \n
