Lets get rooted!

Learn how to grow your own native plants from scratch — and why it’s one of the best things you can do for your farm, garden, and local ecosystem.

Native plants are naturally adapted to California’s soils, climate, and seasons. Once established, they support native wildlife, attract and house beneficial insects, and significantly reduce your landscape’s water needs. In this workshop, you’ll learn the hands-on skills to start multiplying them yourself and take home several plants to help get your garden growing.

What you’ll learn:

• Propagation techniques including cuttings, layering, divisions, and seed starting
• Stratification and scarification methods for seeds that need a little coaxing to germinate
• How to identify, collect, and assess plant materials and seeds on a guided plant walk
• Common propagation problems and diseases — and the nursery sanitation practices that prevent them

Who this is for:
Farmers, gardeners, and land stewards at any experience level who want to grow more native plants without buying every one from a nursery.
No prior experience required.
