The OSU Extension Land Steward Program and Tree School Rogue present this annual, one-day conference at the Rogue Community College Redwood Campus in Grants Pass
Suzie Savoie from Klamath-Siskiyou Native Seeds will be presenting on the topic:
“Growing Native Plants from Seed: Seed Collection, Cleaning & Propagation”
Learn the tricks of the trade to propagate your favorite native plants from seed. This class will present basic skills for successful seed collection, cleaning and propagation to grow native plants for land stewardship, biodiversity, habitat restoration, native plant conservation and pollinators. Native plant seeds have a reputation as being difficult to grow, but with some basic skills and a willingness to experiment you can propagate beautiful native plants from seed. Topics will include ethical native seed collection techniques, seed cleaning with basic home supplies, seed germination requirements for specific species, growing native plants in containers, and direct seeding techniques. Information presented in this class will be tailored to landowners and land stewardship in the Klamath-Siskiyou region.
