Norwood Seed Library, in 
partnership with the Morrill Memorial Library, is excited to announce a 
workshop on winter sowing at the library. The event is called Native Plants- Winter Sowing Basics and will take place on Saturday January 3, 2026 at 10am in the Simoni Room.


Join us for a hands-on workshop about winter seed sowing and the 
benefits of adding native plants to your yard. They are a favorite of 
the bees, butterflies, birds and other pollinators! Native seeds that 
have evolved in the New England climate often require cold 
stratification. Participants will plant two milk jugs with native seeds 
and learn how to winter sow seeds; no gardening experience is required. 
Supplies will be provided.


About the presenter: Kelsey Quinlan is a Norwood resident and 
gardener. She volunteers on the town Conservation Commission and 
Sustainability Committee.
This program is open to all. Children under 12 need to be accompanied by an adult.


Registration is required. To register, visit&nbsp;<a href="https://norwoodlibrary.assabetinteractive.com/calendar/native-plants-winter-sowing-basics/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">https://norwoodlibrary.assabet...</a>or call the Reference Desk at 781-769-0200 x2.

art, from the caves to the shuttle, to see and understand how art and 
civilization depend upon each other. Be sure to bring your sense of 
humor, and your sense of Human.
About the presenter: Beth Knaus is a creative professional and lifelong writer, with 15-plus years as an <a href="https://www.artmatters.website/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">ArtMatters</a>
 presenter. She loves connecting with people through engaging stories
