Topic: Sowing Seeds Outdoors in the Winter and Spring
Speaker: Michelle Mero Riedel
Washington County Master Gardener, Michelle Mero Riedel, was looking for an inexpensive way to grow plants for a large new garden installed in her front yard. Her love of gardening took a new direction when she discovered sowing seeds outdoors in the winter.
“Constructing mini-greenhouses with recyclables was incredibly easy. Just like the seeds growing under the snow in our gardens, this method also uses nature to grow plants, but our seeds are protected inside the little house.” Michelle has shared this method of growing seeds with Belinda Jensen and Bobby Jensen of KARE-11.
In addition to gardening and teaching, Michelle is a professional photographer and regular contributor to Northern Gardener magazine writing articles and providing plant photography.
