Cook Forest to host plant cloning workshop

From staff reports

Cook Forest State Park will host a workshop on cloning plants from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturday at the park office conference room.

Ty Ryen, Bureau of Forestry service forester, will teach participants how to improve their gardening skills while saving money by learning simple plant propagation techniques.

Many of the most popular decorative landscape plants can be propagated by the simple technique of rooting a piece of “parent” plant.

Through this technique, one source plant can produce hundreds of identical offspring at little or no cost.

Participants must pre-register by emailing info@cookforestconservancy.org.

The seminar is approved for two continuing education units for ISA Certified Arborists.
