Learn to ethically collect and propagate native plants; grow them for your own back yard or for one of the many organizations involved in active restoration of natural habitat. You will learn how to identify the primary threats to native ecosystems, how to collect viable seeds, and how to germinate those seeds.

We will tour the Gardens’ native plant collections for hands-on seed collecting before discussing a variety of terms and propagation techniques. Finally, you will begin the propagation of some plants of your own, to take home.

$98 member, $117 non-member.
