During fall 2023, the P4P project collected over 50 seed bags from native wildflowers at the Essex Quarry Nature Preserve. The Conservation Committee and volunteer members will be sowing these seeds in greenhouse flats/trays and in milk jugs on January 26 and setting them outside for cold stratification. We need as much help as possible, so please come if you can. There is no need to bring anything - we will provide supplies (and goodies).

Where: 417 Leaning Road, Essex, NY 12936
Workshop leaders: Laura Lehtonen and Steve Young, our P4P horticultural experts
