Learn the artful skill of propagating plants by cuttings. Creating more plants by vegetative reproduction is a rewarding and fun hobby you can easily add to your gardening tool belt. In this class taught by one of our own Staff Horticulturists, Heidi Koonz, at the Kruckeberg Botanic Garden, we will teach you how to identify healthy cutting materials, how to process them, and aftercare. Participants will go home with a small collection of plant propagules to grow on, or gift to others. Additional resources will be highlighted, or be available for purchase.
