Garden for the Environment: Plant Propagation with Pam Peirce

Learn about the magic of growing plants in many ways — seeds, cuttings, and divisions — from one of SF’s best-known gardeners, Pam Peirce!

In this engaging, hands-on workshop, well-known San Francisco gardener Pam Peirce will reveal all the ways you can produce new plants and you’ll get the opportunity to practice some of these techniques yourself! The class will address how to start plants from seed and then will explore other fascinating ways plants reproduce — bulbs, divisions, cuttings, and layering. The plants included as examples will be food crops, garden ornamentals, and houseplants. Helpful handouts will be included so you can begin propagating plants on your own!

Pam will be available after the workshop to sign your copy of her book, Golden Gate Gardening
