Register ASAP to reserve your spot and avoid disappointment. ** Come and learn how to propagate native plants using many different techniques. This class will cover breaking seed dormancy, cold moist stratification, rooted cuttings, layering, direct planting, growing from bare root, and MORE! Attendees receive a descriptive list of Midwest native trees, shrubs, grasses, perennials, annuals, and vines that can be easily propagated and should be considered for your garden. BONUS: Each participant will take home a bare root tree, shrub, fern, OR spring ephemeral they pot up using the methods learned in class!
