The fall rains are starting and this is the time that native seeds sprout and native plants start growing underground. It’s also the perfect time to plant your seeds, divide the Douglas irises and take hardened cuttings of monkeyflowers. Hear about different methods of propagating native plants just in time to prepare for spring bloom and planting season. After the program, we’ll swap plant material. Bring any seeds or cuttings that you’d like to share with others and containers to carry what you want to bring home.
