SUMMARY:Houston Chapter Meeting - April 16
DESCRIPTION:Seeds of Texas: Practical Propagation for Native Plants with Jacob Martin \n\n\n\nThis presentation draws on over a decade of experience managing the greenhouse at Mercer Botanic Gardens to explore practical methods for growing native Texas plants from seed. We will cover proven propagation techniques\, including seed collection\, handling\, and pre-treatment methods required to break dormancy. The talk will also highlight lessons learned through trial and error—what works\, what doesn’t\, and why. Special attention will be given to challenging species and select rare Texas natives\, offering insight into both horticultural success and conservation-minded propagation. \n\n\n\nAbout the Speaker: Jacob Martin \n\n\n\nJacob Martin is the Head of Horticulture at Mercer Botanic Gardens\, where he has managed the greenhouse operations for the past ten years. He oversees extensive botanical collections consisting of thousands of plants and directs the production of over 20\,000 seasonal annuals twice each year. His work includes active seed collection\, seed banking\, and propagation efforts to support both horticultural display and conservation. Jacob also conducts field-based seed collection of native Texas species and recently completed a 2025 Piney Woods seed collection project under permit with the Angelina National Forest\, contributing to the expansion of Mercer’s native plant collections. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOur monthly chapter meetings are held on every 3rd Thursday\, January – November. Our meetings are free and open to the public thanks to our members and sponsors.  \n\n\n\nThe presentation will start at 7:00 pm\, but come at 6:45 pm for a meet and greet with snacks. \n\n\n\nHouston Arboretum and Nature Center \n\n\n\n610 Entrance (preferred)120 W Loop N FwyHouston\, TX 77024 \n\n\n\nWoodway Entrance4501 Woodway DriveHouston\, TX 77024 \n\n\n\nMeetings will also be live-streamed and recorded for later viewing. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nReturn to Houston Chapter Page
