What could be more exciting than turning one plant into 10 new ones for each of your friends? Some succulents, such as rosette-forming echeveria and ghost plant (graptopetalum), are particularly easy to propagate. The leaves readily grow new roots (and thus new plants) when removed and placed in the right conditions. You can use this method to create fun and inexpensive gifts. 

Gardening itself is an activity that naturally combines science and art. Gardeners must know the science behind healthy plant growth and also understand the intricate relationships between the soil and environment to properly provide for plants' needs. Additionally, gardeners hone their artistic talents as they learn to arrange and install the plant and landscape materials in attractive designs. Our garden is an excellent resource to engage community members in visual arts.
