Native Plant Nursery Training: Seeds, Cuttings, Divisions

Join us in-person for a free workshop perfect for folks who want to grow their own native plants at home or in their own nursery. This completely outdoor class begins with a short nursery tour, and covers:

– Seed collection and germinating

– Preparing and rooting cuttings (clones)

– Dividing existing plants

– Proper soils and fertilizers for young and old plants

Attendees will have the chance to take some material home (or to their nursery) to grow on their own, including seed and cuttings. Children over the age of 8 are welcome with a guardian.
