Norm and Lynn Ginsburg carved out a 20-by-16-foot "nursery" in their backyard, separated from the main garden by a picket fence. This dedicated propagation area lets them fill garden gaps and replace plants without buying new ones.
"In any garden, gaps need to be filled and plants replaced," Norm explains. "It's nice to be able to start new ones from old ones." The couple collects seeds and takes divisions or cuttings from existing plants like alstroemeria, calandrinia, and Russian sage.
Nursery pots and flats sit on redwood racks atop concrete blocks. This elevates containers for better air circulation, discourages pests, and prevents roots from anchoring into the ground. Group plants by light and water needs for easier care.
Use eight 8-foot redwood 1-by-2s, spaced 1.5 inches apart and nailed to crossbars. This simple, inexpensive system keeps your propagation area organized and your plants healthy.
