This approach considers a plant's physical form and external structure such as leaf, stem, flower and fruit features. Michael will then discuss methods for harvesting, cleaning, storing and treatment of perennial seeds before planting. This workshop is held the night before OIB’s Annual Native Plant Sale and general questions about native plant benefits are encouraged. Master Gardeners and OIB Volunteers will be present to speak about the organization and gardening.
