Monthly Meetings

General Meeting at St. Mark’s Presbyterian, Knox Room and via Zoom.

Seed Workshop by Nicci Romero, Horny Toad Horticulture.

Nicci Radhe is the grower and producer of seeds and plants at Horny Toad Horticulture. An all organic urban seed farm at the base of Sentinel peak. We offer wholesale plants and seeds to nurseries and do direct sales to the public at markets and events! Horny Toad grows and produces locally adapted heirloom and open pollinated seeds right here in Tucson.

In this speaker series we will enjoy a very short 30 minute seed 101 talk by Nicci about starting seeds indoors and outdoors followed by a seed harvesting and processing workshop. We will talk about seed starting mediums, containers and best practices to ensure strong and vibrant seedlings. The second part of this meetup is a hands-on workshop that will be on the patio of the Knox room. Attendees can just watch but if you wish to participate please bring gloves, a mask and wear long sleeves. We will be processing Hollyhocks, Wild Luffa, Tithonia, Artichoke and Basil and everyone will get seeds to take home!

If participants have seeds to purify please bring them to the workshop we will process those for you with our new winnower! We will have a seed/plant exchange as well so bring any extra seeds and seed bags to share with our gardening community. We will also raffle off a BIG basket of Horny Toad goodies!
