FREE Talk on Propagating Native Plants

Saturday , October 26, 2024 – 11AM – 12:30PM
Presented by Alameda County Master Gardeners

Thank you to Laura Cornett for her hands-on workshop on California Native Plant Propagation: Seeds, Cuttings and Division. Participants had the opportunity to process cuttings, plant seeds and plant some rhizomes.

This talk focused on different propagation methods for California native plants.  In addition to the lecture, there will be a hands- on portion where attendees will be able to sow their own seeds, prepare and stick cuttings and pot up some native plant rhizomes.

Presenter Laura Cornett is an Alameda County Master Gardener and part-time faculty in Horticulture at Las Positas College in Livermore.
