Online Class - How to Grow Native Plants from Seed - Small-scale nursery techniques for growers of all sizes
Join me, Blas Espinosa, owner of Next Door Nursery, as I share small-scale nursery techniques for collecting, processing, and propagating local native seeds. This presentation is an inside look at the nuts and bolts of how we operate our wholesale native nursery from our backyard. Topics include: small-scale greenhouse structures, soil mixes, equipment, supplies, and detailed video walkthroughs of how we plant seeds, bump up seedlings, and more. This video presentation will be sent on August 23, 2026, and there will be a live Q&A on Sunday, August 30 from 9 am - 10am when Blas will be reading submitted questions, and answering any others in the live.
