Need to nurture? Join longtime Arboretum propagator Jack Alexander to learn basic information and techniques for propagating most woody plants. The first session includes a lecture and workshop on seed propagation and construction of a propagation case. The second session includes a lecture and workshop on hardwood cuttings. Leave class with numerous cuttings and seeds to care for. To participate, you must sign an Assumption of Risk and Release in order to practice the techniques taught in class. Bring a lunch and beverage, and hand pruners if you own them. A sharp knife and apron may also be helpful. Collect propagules from the Arboretum grounds on both afternoons regardless of weather, so dress accordingly and wear comfortable shoes.
