How Does Your Garden Grow?

Cooperative Extension offers a seedling-propagating workshop

How Does Your Garden Grow?

There’s nothing like the miracle of watching tiny dry grains sprout into lush green plants…and when they can provide healthful, sustainable vegetables, all the better! But making sure that the seeds sprout and caring for them until they become sturdy, strong plants aren’t always so easy. Find out how at the Vegetable Seedling Propagation Workshop.

  • Date: Saturday, July 6, 2019
  • Time: 9:00–10:00 a.m.
  • Location: Poamoho Research Station at 65-602 Kaukonahua Rd. in Waialua, O'ahu

Registration: Register at Veggie Seedling Prop for free.

At the workshop, participants will learn about different vegetable seedling propagation techniques to improve seedling quality. Extension agent Jensen Uyeda will discuss selecting the right seedling media and fertilizer, with a hands-on seedling propagation demonstration. Email Jensen at juyeda@hawaii.edu with any questions.
