Did you know winter is the best time to sow native wildflower seeds in Michigan?

Join the Kalkaska Conservation District in partnership with our friends at CAKE-CISMA (Charlevoix, Antrim, Kalkaska, Emmet- Cooperative Invasive Species Management Area) in learning all about Michigan’s native wildflowers and how to properly stratify them so they can grow in your yard in the spring!

This workshop will take place at the Kaliseum Recreation Complex on Friday, February 20, 2026, from 11:00am-12:30pm.

The workshop will begin with a presentation on Michigan native wildflowers. Participants will then make planters from recycled milk gallons to plant wildflower seeds of their choice.

A $5 registration fee includes everything needed to start your Michigan natives! Two (2) planters, soil, seeds, and all tools are included in your ticket cost. Participants will take home their planters at the conclusion of the workshop.

Space is limited so buy your ticket soon! Tickets can be purchased online in our District Store, emailing kalkaskaCD@macd.org, or calling the KCD office at 231-258-3307.

Ticket sales will remain open until Tuesday, February 17 or until sold out.
