Growing native plants from seeds and cuttings is a great way to bring biodiversity to your garden, while saving money and connecting more deeply with nature. We will share a few methods used to propagate plants at the Grassroots Ecology nursery for our restoration projects, such as at Redwood Grove Nature Preserve (in Los Altos, just south of Shoup Park). The talk will also cover ways to adapt these techniques for your home.
Growing up in the East Bay, Stanley Gu developed an obsession with plants while observing the native and non- native flora of his neighborhood. He is now an Ecologist at Grassroots Ecology and has worked under the guidance of Nursery Director Deanna Giuliano for two years. His passions include growing native plants and sharing his love of botany with others.
