MGAA: “How to Winter Sow” by Melissa Penney, Habitat YEG
January 22 @ 7:00 pm - 8:30 pm
$15.00Hope you can join us for a learning-packed evening about
Winter Sowing!
If you are looking to grow tons of plants for very little money and not have to give up part of your home for growing seedlings each year, then this presentation is for you! Invented by Trudi Davidoff in 2000, this is the method of using plastic containers to grow seeds outdoors planted
between January-March. Melissa has been winter sowing perennials and annuals successfully for five years and is excited to show you all the tips and tricks for your own winter sowing success.
After spending years walking, hiking and driving to photograph birds, Melissa tried something new in 2019. She decided to instead make the birds come to her! In the last five years she has had 106 species of birds visit her urban Edmonton backyard, and has 84 species visit in
2024 alone! Melissa’s interests have expanded to gardening, native plants, insects and how it all works together. Besides her yard being a Canadian Wildlife Federation certified wildlife friendly habitat, she loves having a space for her amazing family to play, relax and visit with friends. When she isn’t working on her own habitat she is a freelance photographer, a mom to three amazing and busy kids, and wife to a fantastic guy who understands her need to live outside more than inside.
