Unlock Your Gardening Potential: Join the Seed Starter Workshop at Missouri State University-West Plains!

Missouri State University-West Plains (MSU-WP) is hosting a Seed Starter Workshop on April 2 from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. in Lybyer Hall. This event is perfect for anyone looking to dive into gardening, whether you’re just starting or have some experience.

Participants will get hands-on training and tools to help create their own vegetable and flower gardens. The workshop provides everything you need, including a bottom tray, a 32-cell insert, a humidity dome, and a selection of seeds to take home.

An expert instructor will be present to share practical tips and answer questions. As Laura Underhill, Assistant Director at MSU-WP, states, "Spring is the perfect time to start a garden. This workshop makes it easy, no matter your experience level."

Recent studies show an increase in gardening habits among people, especially since the pandemic, as more individuals seek to grow their own food and embrace sustainability. According to the National Gardening Association, around 35% of U.S. households participated in gardening in 2020, reflecting a significant surge in interest in home gardening.

The Seed Starter Workshop not only provides supplies and knowledge but also fosters a sense of community among local gardeners. Participants can share experiences and grow together, building both skills and friendships.

If you’re interested in gardening, don’t miss this opportunity. Spots are limited, so registering early is a good idea. For more details, you can visit Missouri State University’s Workforce Development.
