About this Event
Join us to explore the world of plant propagation with Ryan Merck, owner of Blue Oak Horticulture. The day begins with class time as we discover the many ways we multiply our beloved natives. We will cover the steps involved in propagation by seed, cutting, and division. The class will then practice these techniques with hands-on experience. The afternoon will finish with a view of the Garden as we discuss which methods are appropriate for each of the wonderful natives we encounter.
