October 10, 2026: Art of Living Series--Seed Starting 101

On Saturday, October 10, 2026 at 9:30 am, Ten Chimneys will be hosting its final gardening seminar of the season, Seed Starting 101. This seminar will take you through the process of seed starting indoors, from selection to hardening off the seedlings before transplanting them into the garden. This presentation covers seed selection, storing, materials needed, lighting, germination, seedlings, transplanting, and how to prevent dampening off.

Our speaker, Jim Gill, was raised in a gardening family and has been a Wisconsin Master Gardener since 2021. He lives in Greendale --“The Garden Community”-- and volunteers at the Southeast Wisconsin Master Gardeners State Fair garden, and The MacCanon Brown Homeless Sanctuary garden in Milwaukee.
