Native Plant Propagation

$40 member / $65 nonmember (per person) 
Instructor: Ella Matsuda 
Ages 12 and up

Many native plants aren’t available at nurseries, so at the Arboretum, we grow them! Tour our nursery and learn about different methods of plant propagation. Then, you’ll get the rare opportunity to collect seeds and cuttings to get your own plants started. Each participant will leave with a dozen species to start from seeds, seedlings, and cuttings, as well as supplies and information to propagate more plants on your own. 

This class has reached max capacity. A waitlist is available until filled.

Please dress for the weather and wear close-toed shoes.
