Native Seed Collection & Propagation

In the Garden Success Series, our Garden experts walk you through some basics of home gardening and share their favorite tools and strategies for growing and keeping yours looking its best.

This month, the focus is on native plants, which are vital for ecological restoration. Conservation projects are becoming increasingly popular for home landscape design, yet native plants can sometimes be expensive and hard to find. In this beginner’s workshop, participants will learn how to collect and propagate native seed through hands-on experience in all phases of the propagation process. They will also learn the importance of using regional native seeds and plants, and go home with seeds and written resources to guide their conservation projects in their own gardens.

Non-member fee of $20 includes general admission to the Garden and seeds to take home. Garden members receive a $10 discount.
