Propagation Partners

Explore the wonders of plant propagation in this special hands-on course designed either for elementary age children or for teams of adult partners and their child (children). First-hand experience planting and potting up jump starts the learning process. Find out how to start and care for seeds and cuttings, what makes good growing soil, and different plants' requirements for water, nutrition, and light. Between each Saturday session your seedlings will have a chance to grow in the Ferguson Greenhouses under the careful watch of the WCBG staff. By the end of the class, each team of propagation partners should have plenty of young plants ready for a home garden. Teams should bring lunch to each class.
