Plant Propagation

Course Schedule

In traditional horticulture programs such as those at Cornell, Penn State, Virginia Tech, UMass, UConn, et. al., "Plant Propagation" is typically a capstone course as it requires an understanding/awareness of foundational knowledge in plant physiology, plant nutrition, plant anatomy, and plant pathology, as well as greenhouse and nursery management, and at least introductory soil science.

"WHAT . . . . wait . . . . that's way more stuff than I need to know just to propagate the occasional African Violet or jade plant," you might be thinking? The good news - or not - is that this class won't be as commercial-scale propagation oriented as courses in full-fleged horticulture programs. However, we're still going to cover a lot of material, so let's get right to it!
