Sick Of Winter? Canton Library To Help You Garden Inside

CANTON, CT — The ground outside is frozen solid and covered in snow and ice.

But inside, the "weather" is much more conducive to gardening and the Canton Public Library next week is hosting a program helping those with the gardening bug stay active over the winter.

The program, called "Winter Native Plant Sowing," will take place Tuesday, Jan. 28, at 6:30 p.m., with registration in advance required.

All that is required is folks bring an empty, translucent one-gallon milk jug or another type of jug.

The library will be providing potting soil and seeds to grow.

The goal of the program is to grow native Connecticut plants over the long, cold winter months.

Participants will be able to join gardening expert Michelle Winkler to learn a low cost way to grow native plants from seed.

For more information, call the Canton Public Library, which is located on 40 Dyer Ave., Canton, at 860-693-5800 or visit the library website at this link.
