Join SFA Gardens for a plant propagation workshop led by Dr. Andrew King, assistant professor of ornamental horticulture at Texas A&M AgriLife in Overton, Texas. King’s research interests include ornamental plant improvement, ornamental plant trialing, medicinal plants and nursery/greenhouse production systems. He is a 4th generation horticulturist whose family has been in the nursery industry for 110 years. King has served on faculty in the Texas A&M Department of Horticultural Sciences in College Station and as the Assistant Director of SFA Gardens at Stephen F. Austin State University. King will teach various propagation techniques, including cuttings and sowing seeds, and present propagation tips and tricks. Class members will participate in hands-on activities and get to take home some of their propagated plants. "This workshop will be a great opportunity for gardeners to learn the basics of propagation," King said.

Cost is $25 for SFA Gardens members and $35 for nonmembers.
