Kendall County Master Gardeners to host hands-on seed starting light workshop

The Kendall County Master Gardeners will host a hands-on, evening workshop where participants will build their own adjustable seed starting lighting rig with PVC and a LED light on Tuesday, March 4, in Yorkville.

In addition, Master Gardeners will share other tips on starting seeds and caring for seedlings.

“Starting seeds indoors is a creative way to head off cabin fever and get a significant jump start on your spring garden,” said Sarah Fellerer, program coordinator with University of Illinois Extension, in a news release from the university. “Attendees will learn valuable information, as well as build and take home a light stand large enough to light two flats of seedlings.”

The cost is $35 per kit with all the supplies, and up to two people can be accommodated to build each kit.

Youth ages 10 and older are welcome with a registered adult. Registration is required.
