IRVING PARK GARDEN CLUB
New Season Begins
with Seed Starting
— Claudia Hine
T
he Irving Park Garden Club’s first meeting of the 2021 season will be a how-to presentation on seed starting. Member Karen Wehrle, a volunteer at the Kilbourn Park Organic Greenhouse since 2007, will share her tips and tricks for successfully beginning vegetables, herbs, and flowers from seed. Karen says, “I use the greenhouse techniques for my own vegetable plants, of which I narrow down to tomatoes, peppers, squash, and cucumbers. I also start some flowers and herbs ahead. Knowing the timing, conditions, and needs of the seedlings makes each year challenging and fun.”
