Events

While most in-person propagation activity is happening at the regional level, we'll host two more zoom meetings about propagation this winter with our expert, Jan Midgley. This free, virtual event is open chapter-wide, and we invite you to RSVP. Jan will update us on specific species she is working on figuring out germination protocols for, and she will cover some really timely propagation topics.The second workshop in this series with Jan will feature a review in propagation techniques which are covered in her manual, and each workshop will cover a different set of species, all of which aren't in the manual - yet.All registrants will receive an electronic "handout" with an agenda and notes on species to be covered 2 days in advance of the workshop.

For over 30 years Jan operated a one wheelbarrow native plant nursery in MD and AL. She kept detailed notes on every step of the propagation process for each species. The notes supported the writing of articles, lectures, and books. She continues to self-publish Native Plant Propagation, 5th edition.

After a move to Colorado seven years ago, Jan embarked on a crash course on the flora of the Southern Rockies. She now volunteers arranging specimens two days a week at Denver Botanic Gardens Herbarium. The rest of the time she “plays” with seeds and maintains a Germination Guide for Colorado native plant seeds on the Wild Ones Front Range Chapter website.

This will be a free, members-only event.  If you are not a member, please consider joining so you can access member benefits!  The sooner members register, the easier it is for us. 

Once registered, the Zoom link will be provided in the program reminder email.

All registrants will receive the recording 1-2 weeks after the workshop. Registration ends Feb. 7th at 10 am. Firm!
