Spring Microgreens - Indoor Greenhouse
Come celebrate the first week of Spring with Clermont State Historic Site’s knowledgeable horticulturalist, Leslie Reed at the library as we make a mini greenhouse for the kitchen window and sow it with microgreens. Tiny but mighty, microgreens are full of flavor and nutrition powerhouses. Every seed comes with all it needs to germinate and grow a sprout. Harness the power of a seed by growing your own amazing microgreens. As well as planting microgreens to take home we will sample several different microgreens. This program is funded through the generous support of the Friends of Clermont. This event is free. Please make reservations in advance on Bookeo:
