How to Germinate Your Seeds for Growing
Native seeds need a cold period to germinate. There are two ways to germinate them. 1. Winter Sowing 2. Stratification
You Can Help! It's Easy!
The most effective way you can help is by planting a pollinator-friendly garden that includes milkweed for the Monarchs to lay their eggs. There are many native plants that are also great for other butterflies, bees, humming birds, and pollinators.
