Join University of Illinois Extension Master Gardeners and

Center for Agrarian Learning at McHenry County College on Saturday, February 1, 2025, for

their second annual Great Seed Event! This event is so much more than a seed swap.

Community partners, vendors, raffles, kids activities, demos and speakers throughout the

day. This will take place in the cafeteria at MCC from 10:00-2:00.  Park in the B lot by the

flag poles and enter in the B doors. Doors open at 10:00. NO EARLY BIRDS. Please be

respectful and only take the seeds you will use, plenty for all!

Jason Jurey from CropKing Inc. will speak on “Basics of Home Hydroponics and

Seed  Starting” at 10:30. Nic Fuller from Natural Communities LLC will speak on “Restoring

Illinois Native Landscapes” at 11:30. Scott Hucker from Great Lakes Staple Seeds will
