Two native seed sowing workshops are planned by University of Maine Cooperative Extension and McLaughlin Garden and Homestead.
The workshops are set for 4-5:30 p.m. Monday, Oct. 28, at Tidewater Farm, 200 Presumpscot Point Road in Falmouth, and 2-4 p.m. Friday, Nov. 8, at the UMaine Extension office, 9 Olson Road in South Paris.
These workshops are ideal for anyone interested in a cost-effective way to grow more native plants for their gardens. Participants will learn the basics of successful native seed starting and can sow their own seeds to take home.
For information, call the workshop organizers at 207-781-6099 for the Falmouth workshop and 207-743-8820 for the South Paris workshop, or email extension.gardening@maine.edu.

We believe it’s important to offer commenting on certain stories as a benefit to our readers. At its best, our comments sections can be a productive platform for readers to engage with our journalism, offer thoughts on coverage and issues, and drive conversation in a respectful, solutions-based way. It’s a form of open discourse that can be useful to our community, public officials, journalists and others. Read more...
We do not enable comments on everything — exceptions include most crime stories, and coverage involving personal tragedy or sensitive issues that invite personal attacks instead of thoughtful discussion.
For those stories that we do enable discussion, our system may hold up comments pending the approval of a moderator for several reasons, including possible violation of our guidelines. As the Maine Trust’s digital team reviews these comments, we ask for patience.
Comments are managed by our staff during regular business hours Monday through Friday and limited hours on Saturday and Sunday. Comments held for moderation outside of those hours may take longer to approve.
