> Plant Propagation for Gardeners!
>
> Yes,it is still possible for you to enroll in the UCLA Extension course,
> Plant Propagation for Gardeners that will meet on Saturdays from 9 AM to
> 1
> PM at The Learning Garden! (You can contact instructor David King at
> greenteach@roadrunner.com for directions.)
>
> Of all the classes I teach, this is my
favorite. It is held in the Garden
> because we DO plant propagation of all kinds. Starting with seed sowing,
> we move on through all the practical means of propagating plants
> asexually, including, cuttings of all kinds, division and grafting.
> Because the class is being held in Winter Quarter this year (it had been
> in fall before), we will be able to get rootstock and can graft apples
> from the trees in the Garden. We will propagate grapes, apples, figs,
> roses and some California natives plus a whole lot more. Field trips to
> The Huntington and Theodore Payne Foundation, where we get to see how
> they
> propagate, and even do some propagation at both places, are a part of the
> program. This provides students with several approaches to propagation
> and
> a wide variety of options that work, enabling them to find what works for
> them, rather than being presented only one
right way.
>
> The way I teach is to ask at the first meeting what the students want to
> learn and endeavor to teach them that so the class is completely
> accessible and useful to those who actually pay for the class.
>
> The class meets on twelve Saturdays starting this coming Saturday, the
> 5th. And it IS a blast! Dress warm and be there at The Learning Garden
> this Saturday.
>
> The Learning Garden is on the grounds of Venice High School (13000 Venice
> Blvd. Los Angeles, 90066), directly at the corner of Walgrove Avenue and
> Venice Blvd. Enter the Garden through the gate on Walgrove closest to
> Venice Blvd. Prospective students may email me for my phone number if
> they
> wish more information.

> Contact UCLA Extension for enrollment,
