Propagation Techniques for Native Plants

The first meeting of 2009 and do bring a friend as it is open to the public. In the event of questionable weather, a message will be left on the office phone.

Learn the ins and outs of propagating native plants from ferns to wildflowers to native trees and shrubs. The lecture will cover seed and spore collection, storage, time and temperature for germination, and hardwood and softwood cuttings. Native plants are generally easy to grow and some basic techniques are sufficient for propagating many different kinds of plants. Bring your questions on those plants you find "difficult to grow."
