Plant Propagation 101

Do you want to develop a green thumb? Take this class to learn about the specifics of seed starting, root division, and cutting propagation. Plant Propagation 101 Ever wondered how gardeners turn one plant into many? This beginner-friendly class breaks down the three most common ways to multiply your favorite plants — no green thumb required. We'll cover: Seed Starting – The most familiar method: how to give seeds the right conditions to sprout into healthy seedlings. Root Division – Learn how to split an established plant's root system into multiple new plants, a quick way to multiply perennials you already have. Cutting Propagation – Discover how a single snipped stem or leaf can be coaxed into growing its own roots and becoming an entirely new plant. After the presentation, you'll put your new knowledge to work in a hands-on propagation station. Choose from staff-selected native plants, herbs, or pollinator-friendly plants, and take home your own start to nurture. A $10 fee covers materials and handling.
