Practical Plant Propagation

In this hands-on workshop we will focus on the seasonally appropriate propagation possibilities of California native plants and other drought-tolerant species. The workshop takes place at the Marin Art and Garden Center, where every plant in the gardens can be considered a 'mother plant'; and where we will utilize our nursery facilities to teach practical methods and techniques that can be duplicated at home. Propagation techniques that will be learned include starting from seeds, cloning and division of plants.

You will be taking home a variety seeds and seedlings, cuttings and plants to grow on in your own garden. Extensive hand-outs, resources and suppliers lists are provided. Please bring your own clippers and gloves.

Charlotte Torgovitsky is the Garden Education Manager at the Marin Art and Garden Center (MAGC).
