Propagating Native Wetland Woody Plants
October 12 @ 9:30 am - 3:00 pm
Wetlands are extensive in Maine and are ecologically rich. Woody species grown within them are unique to the ecosystems and environmentally critical to Maine and the Global community. Learn from Shawn Jalbert, owner and professional propagator of Native Haunts, how to grow native woody species of these local systems, which can lead to sustainable business opportunities and ecological benefits. Growing, selling, and planting locally grown perishable plants can be used for wetland restoration or wetland-like landscape garden projects, such as rain gardens, swales, water-accumulated topography, and more.
Propagating Native Herbaceous Wetland Plants, a complementary class to this one on herbaceous plants in wetlands, is happening on September 28. See more about that class here.
A separately scheduled class in February 2025 will continue instructing students about nursery production practices of seedlings to finished plants, discussing budget, materials, and management practices.
Class Level: Advanced
