Few gardening endeavors are as rewarding as growing your own garden from seed. Master Gardener, Don Ludke will cover how to start healthy plants from seed, basics of soil mixes, containers, germination and fertilization. If you are looking to save some money or grow unique varieties of plant species, come to this class and learn how a practiced propagator gets his plants off to a healthy start.

Each participant will take home a free seedling to start growing at home!

Don Ludke has been a certified Frederick County Master Garden over 6 years.  He has taught adult gardening classes on a variety of practical gardening and landscape topics throughout the state. His gardening areas of interest and knowledge include companion planting, crop timing and garden design.
