Family Seed Starting Workshop @ Alameda Free Library | Alameda | California | United States

Marcus Carini, founder of Newfound Foodscapes and board member of Alameda Backyard Growers, lead a hands-on Family Seed starting Workshop designed to empower families to grow their own food and cultivate a lifelong connection with nature. This interactive session demystified the seed-starting process, and provided practical tips and techniques for creating thriving gardens, even in small spaces. Participants learned the basics of seed selection, proper soil preparation, planting depth, watering techniques, and how to nurture seedlings until they are ready for the garden or patio. Participants left with tips and tricks for seed starting and will prepare their own seed trays to take home and watch grow.

This workshop was for families of all experience levels who wanted to enjoy the benefits of fresh, homegrown food and a deeper connection to the natural world. 

What Families Learned & Did:

  • Get hands-on experience in seed starting.
  • Started seeds during the workshop to take home and grow in your own garden or patio.
  • Learned tips and tricks to grow healthy, thriving plants throughout every season.
