LVEC’s Rick Valley will lead this two day workshop at Lost Valley’s beautiful site. Propagating plants is an inexpensive and easy way to get new plants from plants you or your neighbor already have.

Propagation by stem cuttings is the most commonly used method to propagate many woody plants.

This asexual means of reproduction produces a plant that is genetically identical to its parent.

There are a variety of plant propagation methods; from taking cuttings to layering to dividing and more. The technique you select will depend on the type of plant you wish to propagate and the amount of time and effort you want to put into it.

Lost Valley Land Steward, Rick Valley, will lead this hands-on workshop.  Attend for one day or two.  Overnight accommodations available for those in need.  Please contact our housing department for information on lodging at 541 937-3351 x 126

Bring a dish to share for lunch.  In the event of snow, the workshop will be rescheduled for February 13-14, 2010.
