A group of seven students from Chatham-Kent Secondary School participated in a cold frame seeding event hosted at their school on November 9th. The students learned about factors seeds must overcome in order to reach germination, including thick seed coats, moisture levels, and temperature requirements. The group of eager students planted two frames of Black Walnut, two frames of Honey Locust, one frame of Sugar Maple, and one frame of Indian Grass. When spring arrives, the students will be able to observe the growth and progress of the seedlings.
Check back later this month for an update on an upcoming prairie plug planting with Chatham-Kent Secondary School's Life Skills class on November 17th.
