Plant Propagation 101

Plant Propagation 101

Ever wondered how gardeners turn one plant into many? This beginner-friendly class breaks down the three most common ways to multiply your favorite plants — no green thumb required.

We'll cover:

Seed Starting – The most familiar method: how to give seeds the right conditions to sprout into healthy seedlings.

Root Division – Learn how to split an established plant's root system into multiple new plants, a quick way to multiply perennials you already have.

Cutting Propagation – Discover how a single snipped stem or leaf can be coaxed into growing its own roots and becoming an entirely new plant.

After the presentation, you'll put your new knowledge to work in a hands-on propagation station. Choose from staff-selected native plants, herbs, or pollinator-friendly plants, and take home your own start to nurture.

A $10 fee covers materials and handling. If this cost is a barrier for you or your family, please reach out to kkennedy@scgov.net for a code to waive the fee.
