Imagine a backyard blooming with wildflowers, abundant with berries and buzzing with fascinating native insects. Getting there is easier than you think! Gardening with native plants has never been so important, and this workshop will get you well on your way to cultivating diverse and abundant ecosystems, wherever you are.

In this workshop, we'll learn to propagate native plants using various methods such as seed sowing, division, cuttings, and layering. We'll cover topics like selecting plant species for your site, preparing planting materials, indentifying suitable growing conditions, and caring for propagated plants. Along the way, we'll also learn about the importance of native plants for biodiversity, habitat restoration, and ecosystem health.

Together, we'll sow seeds of a variety of wildflowers, and propagate cuttings of woody plants for participants to take home.
