BLOG: Growing Habitat and Hope for the New Year by Mary Welz, Indiana Partner Biologist at Pollinator Partnership. With the shortening of days and onset of cold temperatures, early winter is when many gardeners and growers retreat from outdoor endeavors to seek the indoor comforts of warmth and holiday cheer. This time of year offers a unique opportunity to deepen one's native plant gardening practice as well as to provide crucial habitat for pollinators and wildlife. Whether you are interested in growing potted plant material for small garden projects or have a large area for direct sowing, the dormant season is an optimal time to begin growing native plants from seed.
