Seedling Starter Class

Get your hands dirty and learn how to grow plants from seed with Barcelo Gardens.  

Barcelo Gardens staff teaches a hands-on gardening class, including all the necessary skills to take you from seed to harvest. 

You’ll learn the following:

• Different ways to start seeds beyond the traditional method of starting in pots 
• How and when to transplant into a larger container or into the ground 
• What soil to use in each stage of the growing process 
• Best planting choices for the summer and early fall seasons 

Participants will practice their skills by planting their own plant to bring home.
