I've got you covered! This 8-day event will have you growing like a pro in no time!
Hi I'm Rick Stone and I want to teach you how to grow your own seedlings!
Welcome to the 8 Day Seed Starting Workshop
This fun challenge is meant to teach you how to grow your own seedlings indoors. I will go through the whole process from start to finish and have you ready to start your own seedlings by the end of Day 8!
The challenge will include a daily lesson that will last around 25 minutes and will include a workbook for each day and an assignment for you to complete.
The Seed Starting Workshop
sales event for 2024 is underway!
The Workshop Starts February 12, 2024 and will be on sale from February 2nd to February 12th.
What is the Seed Starting Workshop?
This challenge is designed to teach you everything you need to know to get started growing your own seedlings indoors.
- The challenge will include 7 days of instruction. Nothing too intense. Each day there will be a 20 to 30-minute class to teach you a little more about seed starting.
- And each day there will be an assignment or task for you to complete.
- On day 8 I will do a live Q&A session with the group where you can ask your questions and get a wrap-up of everything we have covered.
- There is also a great workbook to go along with each day and we will have a drawing for a few prizes.
Check out the list below to see what topics we will be highlighting each day of the challenge!
Workbook Included for Every Member!
Along with the 7 Daily prerecorded courses will be a workbook. This 50+ page workbook will help you work through the content of the course and get your seeds off to a good start this year!
What do past participants have to say?
“In this world of so much chaos, this class helped ground me (pun intended) to focus on something positive and I was very excited to be able to tangibly use the skills and information learned. It was very well presented and broken down, and will help turn my acquired knowledge into eventual food! The daily classes vs being able to binge the whole series helped keep an anticipation aspect to look forward to something every day. I got my kids involved too, and they start their day by checking their little baby seeds! Thank you for the experience!”

Let's hear from Lori
"I took the Seed Starting Challenge in Feb 2022 and found it to be one of the best classes I've ever taken! It was well worth the money. This class takes you step by step on what types of seeds to start, how to start them, the equipment needed and when to start your seeds depending on where you live. It was methodically laid out from beginning to end so that you would be fully set up and starting your seeds by the end of the class. The videos and documentation were excellent and easy to follow. There were over 100 participants and it was fun to see the progress and ideas of other folks in the class and another great networking environment for fellow gardeners. Along with being an excellent class, it was a LOT of fun! Rick has so much knowledge and is an excellent instructor."

The $29 I invested in the 7-Day Seed-Starting Workshop was well spent
I learned some things about starting seeds I didn't know before. The homework forced me to actually put into practice the skills I learned, and by the time the week was over I had the materials and knowledge I needed to start my own seeds! Attached is a picture of my fledgling effort: Lettuce seed I saved from last year's garden, started in a medium I mixed myself. Thank you, Rick, for teaching me how to start my own seeds!

I'm a graduate of the Utah State University Master Gardener program and have been teaching classes for many years on gardening basics and year round gardening. For the last 6 years I have been teaching courses online to nearly 5000 students. Come join me and we will learn everything you need to know to have a successful garden!!
