The fourth of the Snoqualmie Valley-King County WSU Master Gardeners garden clinics will feature Master Gardener Gordon Polson, discussing “The Art, Science, and Magic of Propagation.”

Polson will give two presentations Saturday, May 14. The first is 10:30 a.m., Saturday, May 14, at the North Bend Library, followed by one at 1:30 p.m. the same day at Sammamish City Hall.

At North Bend, Polson will talk about seed germination, why some germinate while others just frustrate. Find out how to maximize your results with seeds.

At Sammamish, he will explain how to multiply plants inexpensively. Cuttings allow you to produce an almost unlimited amount of identical plants, only limited by the size of the mother plant. They may be taken at almost any time of year and they require only a few simple tools

Both presentations are free to the public.
