Join Nick Kowalske from Texas Conservation Alliance to learn about the work that TCA does in their Native Plant Propagation Center to grow native plants for distribution across North Texas. Propagation is a big task and a big topic, so get ready for a whirlwind discussion of seed treatment, transplanting protocols, plant policies, and our favorite moments from the greenhouse. Come with questions and be prepared for a very nerdy evening!
Nick Kowalske is a recent graduate from Harvard University with a degree in Integrative Biology who is also a HUGE native plant nerd! His scientific and personal interest in plants has driven him to undertake a deep dive into native landscaping at home while also now working in the Texas Conservation Alliance Native Plant Propagation Center. His work on North Texas native plants ranges from backyard gardening and greenhouse work to rare native plant rescues and remnant prairie seed collection.
