Sept 28: “Prairies in Seed” – A Fall Prairie Walking Tour at PFC

Saturday, Sept. 28th, 2024 (10:00 a.m. – 12:00 p.m.)

The fall is a great time to experience the prairie in its final beauty. This course will serve as an introduction to identifying seed-bearing prairie plants. Attendees will tour a restored prairie and learn techniques to collect and store seeds from various species. Those that attend will learn from a restoration professional how to break native seed dormancy and grow their own native plants. Students will then have the opportunity to take home their own “mini-greenhouses” of native seeds for their home landscaping.
