Hello everybody!

This week's class is so exciting!

We will be:

   --planting flower, vegetable and herb seeds;
   --starting cuttings from an array of plants (definitely a couple succulents, and I'll do my best to bring some raspberry/blackberry canes and some apple twigs, too!)
   --learn some botany concerning seeds, germination, rooting, etc.;
   --learn how to use rooting hormones;
   --learn about light, heat, water and nutritional needs of new plants;
   --discuss germination rate and learn how to determine it for older seeds
   --get the answers to other questions you may have

Soil, seeds and pots will be provided for seeds and small cuttings. If you want to do a whole bunch of anything and think you'll need larger pots, please bring your own, but LET ME KNOW so that I bring enough soil!

Also, feel free to bring your own unique cuttings or seeds to share! If you want to plant entire trays, I will have some available FOR PURCHASE for $2.00-$5.00 each (depending on whether you also want solid undertrays, etc.)

I will also have copies of 1-4 seed and/or nursery catalogs for you to take home.

Class meets 6:30-8:30 pm Wednesday evenings and is $10/person (anyone on a fixed income or any type of assistance able to attend at no cost).

Contact me for location.

Thanks folks. Hope to hear from you!
