SucSeed
Join us in a planting session with Sydney from SucSeed!
We will mail you the supplies for your microgreen kit so that you can have a hands on component to our virtual session.
All you will have to supply is a cup and some water! We suggest trying to find a container to reuse to add another layer of sustainability to this project.
We will explore planting our microgreens, how to eat them, and then dive into sustainable farming and why all of us should strive to support it.
PSST... There are even some planting tips in this workshop!
