Encouraging Nature: Propagating, Growing and Using Native Perennials

Great Swamp Conservancy, 8375 N Main St, Canastota, NY 13032
Celebrate Year of the Native Plants at the Great Swamp Conservancy!
Native perennials meet the needs of native pollinators and fill a vital role in the garden. Locally grown native perennials produced by seed are adapted to the area in which they are produced. Propagating these plants is relatively easy once their germination requirements are met. Ellen will discuss seed propagation techniques, how to acquire seed and a hands -on demonstration will include a tray of seeds for everyone to take home with them to try.
Must Register and Pay in Advance, Spots are Limited! $12 per person
