Our branch is excited to host this presentation by Maggie Hellis on Saturday, April 5th.

As an avid amateur indoor gardener and certified Begoniac, Maggie has successfully self-seeded over 90 different species of begonias (and some fun hybrids too!). In this interactive session, she will guide you through the entire process—from begonia pollination to seed collection and sowing. You’ll learn various pollination techniques, how to spot good and bad seeds, and how to collect them, share them, and sow them.

We will follow with a workshop to apply our seed planting skills.
