As gardeners, every year we seem to be introduced to new plants. Ever wonder how these new plants come into existence? Plant breeders are mostly responsible by crossing two plants that have desirable characteristics in the hopes that the offspring will surpass the parents. In other situations it is happenchance. Some plants develop unusual, but unique growth that can be propagated as a stand-alone plant. This workshop will introduce you to the fascinating world of plant breeding and selection.
This course will take place indoors. Format: PowerPoint Presentation
