Discover how simple it is to grow ferns from spores. Review the life cycle of these ancient plants, how to properly collect and dry fertile fronds, and the basic steps for successfully propagating ferns. In this hands-on workshop, you will clean and sow spores into a simple growing system to take home. Visit the ferns in Mt. Cuba’s Trial Garden with the instructor.
