- Methods for germinating seeds
- Best ways to grow seedlings
- Registering seedlings as a new cultivar
- Plus much more and Q&A
You’ll get hands-on instruction throughout, like prepping and planting seeds for germination. You’ll go home with a bag of seeds and at least one Atkinson plumeria seedling, either cutting or rooted.
