More information will be posted on this website in the near future concerning the details of this course. Essential plant propagation techniques used in the Green Industry will be taught and emphasized, but I will also weave in research writing, literature, and native plant propagation.

Literature, both in the genres of fiction and non-fiction, is replete with references to plant propagation.  Many of the original settlers of the United States could not have survived without at least a rudimentary knowledge of how to graft fruit trees and grow crops from seed.  The following is a growing list of books that either mention actual propagation techniques or use them as metaphorical devices.
