Our watershed coordinator will be hosting a discussion as part of Tippecanoe Soil and Water Conservation District’s Native Plant Fest Week! Stop by Amy’s house to learn about her winter sowing process and see what native plants did well and which ones failed this year. You’ll see some variety of containers, and some native plant landscaping that was established using winter sown plants.
