Native Plant Propagation Classes
Aug 11 @ 10:00 am – 1:00 pm

Free field trip to Charlotte’s Garden *Location given after RSVP
In this class we’ll visit a small, but very productive nursery, where you can see some simple
propagation systems all set up. We’ll also look at a variety of nursery containers, different soil
mediums, and options for irrigation systems. You’ll learn how to customize your soil mixes to
accommodate a variety of propagation options. We’ll also discuss best management practices
in a nursery to produce vigorous healthy plants and to avoid problems with plant pathogens.
Once you start to propagate your own plants you’ll begin to see the potential of ‘Mother Plants’
throughout your garden. We’ll look at a number of different plants to learn to determine which
propagation method is best for each species, and how to time your efforts for best results.

Native Plant Propagation Classes @ Red Barn, Point Reyes National Seashore
Sep 8 @ 10:00 am – 12:00 pm

Weeds – the Good, the Bad, and the Beautiful!
The simplest definition of a weed is a ‘plant in a place where it is not wanted’! But where did
these weeds come from, and why? And now that they are here what do we do with them?
Some weedy species are edible, some are medicinal, and some are good habitat plants. Many
weedy species have multiple reproductive strategies which make them very hardy plants.
Certain truly invasive non-native species have proven to be very costly mistakes because
of the way in which they can destroy the bio-diversity of delicate natural environments.
In this free class we’ll discuss a number of different species and talk about how to
either manage or eradicate problematic plants in order to restore sensitive
native habitats. We’ll also sample edible wild plants, and learn about some
of the valuable medicinal plants found in wild and disturbed sites.
