In Southern California, fall and winter are prime time for sowing wild flower seeds in the garden! Our world-renowned spring annuals not only provide a spectacular array of colors and forms, but create essential pollinator habitat. Wild flowers perform well in many garden spaces, from meadows and mixed beds to borders and containers. You’ll gather tips and tricks on soil preparation, sowing techniques, design concepts, watering, and cultivation, and enjoy an illustrated overview of some of the instructor’s most beloved species. There will also be notes on sowing native California grass seed.
