Ferns provide a pop of color to interior spaces, add texture and interest to landscapes and many are perfect for a too-shady spot in your garden. Sara will give a brief introduction to ferns and the various ways they reproduce, with a focus on propagation by spores. \u201c(People) who enjoy growing ornamental and vegetable garden plants from seeds will find this to be another way to satisfy the urge to produce their own garden plants,\u201d Sara said.<\/p>\n

Several years ago, Sara took a fern propagation class offered at Kruckeberg Botanical Garden in Shoreline, WA. \u201cThe relative ease of getting the spore to grow and produce a fern came as a surprise and inspired (me) to find out more about this lovely, diverse plant,\u201d she added. Sara has been growing plant starts for the Master Gardener demonstration plots at the 5th Street Community Gardens for the past five years. For her own yard, she also enjoys growing annuals and herbaceous perennials, shrubs and trees from seed, layering, bare root and cuttings. Some of her \u201cfern babies\u201d have been sold at the Master Gardener Annual Plant Sale.<\/p>\n

Sara has been a Master Gardener since 2016 and has coordinated the creation of the yearly Master Gardener Calendar (2024 now available for purchase here)<\/a> since 2020. She spends hours in her yard dreaming of the beautiful woodland garden it will someday become.<\/p>\n
