more info:

Join us for a 3-week deep dive into propagating wild plants of the Salish Sea bioregion. Each week, we will explore a different method of propagating PNW Native plants for local landscapes. We look at propagation from different cultural perspectives, and learn how to discern which method to use for our goals.

​

mar 5: seed-starting

mar 12: roots, rhizomes, tubers and bulbs

mar 19: cuttings**

**Note: This is a make-up date. The farther we move from winter (thanks to an early spring), it is more likely our cuttings class will focus on softwood cuttings, layering and other ways of propagating with aboveground plant parts that are not asleep for the winter.

Each class will include plenty of time for hands-on practice.  Participants are invited to bring home their seedlings, cuttings and more to restore a landscape of their choice.

community dinner option: In the spirit of building community, participants are invited to stay after class to join the Songaia community dinner at 6:15pm. $5-15 suggested contribution (cash). Let us know in your registration if you intend to join!
