How to build inexpensive and effective grow lights.

Give your plants a healthy start with grow lights that can ensure that your seedlings get great light indoors, without a bright south-facing window and even when it's snowing and freezing outside. You can grow unusual and hard-to-find varieties of vegetables that may never be offered at local garden centers. Or farm microgreens indoors that are bursting with nutrition. Avoid spindly, unhealthy seedlings that inadequate light produces. Learn the pros and cons of different types of lights and some options for creating your own grow light system inexpensively. We'll provide instructions and material lists for a shelf system, a stand design, and grow lights in a storage box. Each of these approaches can jump start your garden and get you on your way to healthy eating. Free. Advance registration is requested at mgnv.org. Questions? Please telephone 703-228-6414 or email mgarlalex@gmail.com. Presented by Master Gardeners of Northern Virginia.
