Propagation students scarify seeds using fire.
Join Back to Natives for a hands-on class to increase your native plant propagation knowledge. Participants will gather once a week for 10 weeks to learn which native plants propagate best by seed, cuttings, layering, and division. We will examine unique methods for mimicking nature's scarification process. The biology, anatomy, history, and use of these propagation techniques will also be covered, briefly. Students will help propagate native plants for use in habitat restoration and environmental education projects. Students can choose to count class time toward volunteer hours, or take home up to ten of the plants that they propagated! Most classes will take place at the Back to Natives Nursery at Santiago Park. $60/10 Weeks. RSVP to
