Milkweed seeds!
Milkweed seeds!
Right now, milkweed pods are splitting open and releasing their silky seeds to the wind—a sure sign that fall has arrived. If you want to grow milkweed for next year, now’s the perfect time to collect those seeds.
To plant your seeds, gently pull them from the fluff and plant them outdoors in a sunny spot, about a quarter-inch deep. The cold winter months will naturally “stratify” them, softening their tough seed coats so they’ll sprout in spring. If you prefer to start them indoors later, you can mimic that process by keeping the seeds in a damp paper towel in the fridge for about 30 days before planting.

What We Do
What We Do
The Looking Glass Garden Club (LGGC) is a community-based group of garden enthusiasts in the Wacousta area, nestled between Dewitt and Grand Ledge. We meet once a month to learn about gardening, native plants, and ways to protect local habitats while keeping our community beautiful. Everyone is welcome to join—whether you’re an experienced gardener or just starting out!
During the warmer months, we host local events, take field trips, and lead hands-on projects. These include our annual native plant sale, maintaining public gardens in Wacousta, and decorating community bridges with living plants. We also enjoy touring local private gardens and attending garden shows to spark inspiration.
When the weather cools down, we keep growing! Our winter meetings feature educational talks on topics like native landscaping, building rain gardens, and eco-friendly gardening practices. We also decorate the bridges with holiday greens as part of our seasonal beautification efforts.
Join us to connect with nature, meet fellow gardeners, and help our Wacousta community grow!
