We are sorry. This program has been CANCELED.
Preregistration required for all participants. This program is offered to adults twenty-one and over. Tickets are limited, so register early as this program is expected to sell out quickly.
Registrants will meet at the Center for Conservation (former Groesbeck Estate). This unique experience will take place indoors and also outdoors in natural areas surrounding our beautiful estate, please dress to enjoy both.
Bring your buds and discover the evolutionary ecology of the humble seed. Why are they so hard? Why don’t mine ever grow? Are they alive? After the introduction, participants will learn how to propagate native plants in their own yards. We will tour some of the Nature Center’s native prairies and learn how to properly collect, store, and prepare seeds for planting. Each participant will take home a selection of native seeds for practicing the techniques at home. Then head back to the Groesbeck for some suds and a Q & A with the course leaders, Cory Christopher, Director of Conservation, and Jake Sberna, Manager of the Native Plant Propagation Program.
What to bring? Please bring your own mask and a valid ID.
