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 DIY greenhouse structures, soil mixes, tools, and detailed video walkthroughs of our standard operating procedures. This video presentation with complementary resources will be released on August 23, 2026, and there will be a live Q&A on August 30 when Blas will be addressing submitted questions, and answering any others in the live.
