Bill Memorial Library in Groton will sponsor a “Starting Seeds for Spring Planting” class on Saturday, March 11, at 1 PM. During this one-hour, in-person program, Master Gardener Patricia Mandell will cover the basics and demonstrate the process, including germination, seed depth, and light and water requirements. She will also discuss the tools you might need: from soil and seed trays to heat mats and grow lights. This program is free, and registration is required. Contact the library at 860-445-0392 for more information or to register.
