On Monday, March 4th the Peterborough Branch held their first ever Vegetable Seed Starting Seminar. The event was much anticipated, with tickets selling out within a week. 

The evening began with Ashley Garland, MSc. (Agronomy Sales Consultant) giving a presentation of the basics of seed starting. Topics included: 

• germination 
• lighting 
• supplies 
• planting schedules 
• soil composition & fertility 
• garden prep 

The seminar then moved into the warehouse for the hands-on portion. Attendees had the opportunity to plant a selection of tomatoes, basil & brussel sprouts, which they were able to take home.
