The Nature Coast Chapter of the Florida Native Plant Society recently had a “Propagation Show and Tell” presented by master gardener Eileen Hart and native plant nursery owner David Barnard. Hart demonstrated the technique of air-layering, as a propagation method for woody shrubs and trees. Barnard, owner of Cypress Acres Nursery, in Land O’ Lakes, shared his knowledge of plant propagation and germination. Both experts have more than 30 years of experience. The chapter meets at the Land O’ Lakes Heritage Park Community Center, 5401 Land O’ Lakes Blvd., on the second Tuesday of each month at 7 p.m. Meetings are free and open to the public.
