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!
