Learn techniques for collecting, storing and stratifying seed to increase your plant collection. Not all plants produce seed that will come true, but our native plants are easy ones to collect, store and grow. The Tower HIll Botanic Garden class will spend some time in the garden collecting seed and discussing how to handle that seed, we will clean some seed and each student will have the opportunity to take home some seed. Finally we will discuss the best ways to germinate most seed. Class takes place November 2 from 1:30 – 4:30 (rain date November 3), and is $39 for Tower Hill members, $53 for nonmembers.
