About:

As the interest in native plants continues to grow, how do we help supplement a market that's struggling to keep up with demand? Craig Maxwell, Southern Piedmont chapter chair for the NC Native Plant Society, will talk about how to get the most out of native seeds and why it is a preferred propagation method for so many native plant enthusiasts. He'll also discuss ethical harvesting practices and ideas on how to start native seed banks in your area.

The presentation will be recorded for
