I also founded the Plants Above Treeline project, dedicated to conserving and propagating wild alpine species, producing seed under controlled conditions, and promoting sustainable rock gardening.
Truly Billions and Billions More from Spore
Aaron Selby
Over my time at Juniper Level Botanic Gardens and Plant Delights Nursery, I have helped propagate approximately 1500 new plants per year. Many of these plants are woody shrubs and perennials.

This talk explores the science and practice behind seed dormancy and germination, along with techniques for rooting cuttings—sharing challenges, successes, and lessons learned from the botanic garden greenhouse bench
