Get growing with this new class series from the Nursery at Holden Arboretum!
The Nursery is a quiet incubator of Holden Forests & Gardens’ mission, supporting our horticulture, research, conservation, and collections departments. This class series will take you behind-the-scenes of this important facility and teach various propagation techniques that can be applied at home. Please register for each program separately,
CANCELLED: April 27 | Beneficial Bugs
Nobody wants to spend all their time in their garden spraying, but what about another option? Bugs aren’t always bad news. There are even some that can protect your plants. This class will go over some common pest problems you may find in your garden, as well as the beneficial insects that can be used to combat them. Participants will also learn how to rear Dalotia coriaria, a type of rove beetle, with an opportunity to take home some of your very own beneficial insects. Cost includes program supplies.

June 29 | Herbaceous Plant Propagation
There is more than one way to propagate a plant. Many woody and herbaceous plants can be reproduced through cuttings, which allow for exact genetic reproduction of the plant. In this class, Nursery Manager Greg Wright will teach how to propagate a variety of herbaceous plants by cuttings. This class will be hands-on, and participants will leave understanding how cuttings develop roots, environmental conditions that aid in propagation, and how to care for newly rooted cuttings. Practice cuttings from the class will be available to take home.
