Press Release Summary: At home, in the classroom, in the greenhouse, anyone can
learn how to grow hundreds of plants from leaves, stems, roots and seeds from tissue
culture. It's easy, fun and inexpensive.

Press Release Body: Grow those baby plant you love right in your own kitchen. You
can do it! Easy! Fun!

"Plant tissue culture is not just for scientists," says Carol Stiff, Executive
Director of Kitchen Culture Education Technologies (KCET). "Any plant lover can do
it. It's easy, fun and rewarding. And not expensive, either."

Both KCET and its sister organization, Home Tissue Culture Group (HTCG) are
non-profit organizations dedicated to teaching hobbyist, nurserymen, Master
Gardeners and students how to tissue culture their favorite plants, endangered
plants, wild and rare plants for fun or profit.

At home, in the classroom, in the greenhouse, anyone can learn how to grow hundreds
of plants from leaves, stems, roots and seeds. Think orchids are too hard to grow?
Think again. How about your favorite African Violet? Bromeliad? Begonia? Any plant
you want to try. It can be done and you can do it.

"Most people think of tissue culture as a massive undertaking with huge, expensive
laminar flow hoods, hemostats, petrie dishes, PhDs and such. In fact a baby food
jar, a plastic bag, some cheap media and a light bulb are just about all you need,"
says Stiff.

KCET and HTCG offer online information, DVDs, start-up kits, media and equipment at
excellent prices. And members get special discounts, too. You can join at
www.kitchencultureeducation.org

Members will learn how to use inexpensive equipment and media, such as baby food
jars and plastic containers to tissue culture plants. Don't believe it? Try it!
With the easy instructions, explicit DVD demonstrations and manual you will soon be
watching those little green shoots popping up by the hundreds.

specialize in teaching the teachers. www.hometissueculture.org Regional workshops
