Seed Propagation Workshop

Henry Foundation

801 Stony Lane, Gladwyn, PA 19035

Cosponsored by HPS and The Henry Foundation for Botanical Research
Lorraine Wallace and Gene Spurgeon will lead a discussion and give a brief introduction covering some of the basics of seed germination. After a short demonstration, participants will do hands-on learning, using a variety of methods and techniques, starting with the germination abbreviations used in the HPS/MAG Seed Catalog. HPS/MAG will provide all equipment and supplies, including soil mix, pots, and a wide variety of seeds. Bring a lunch and sodas, if desired. We will provide water, coffee, tea, and cookies. Wear old clothes and sensible shoes since there will be periods of work at counter-high benches. There is no charge to attend, but workshop size is limited to 16 participants and to HPS/MAG members only.
