Workshop: Practical Plant Propagation
In this workshop, we aim to pass on as much green-fingered know-how as possible, so that you have the confidence to 'go forth and propagate' in your own gardens and green spaces.
Discover all the tricks of the trade for propagating plants, from sowing taking cuttings from a range of plants, division techniques, and seed sowing, this course will give you hands-on experience and the confidence to nurture new plants into life at home, with very little expense and cost to the wider environment.
The session will cover the techniques and care requirements for:
● Softwood and tip cuttings
● Leaf and leaf section cuttings
● Division and root cuttings
● Hardwood cuttings
● Growing a range of plants from seed
As well as an introduction to the kinds of growing media, we’ll also cover the equipment and tools that are required for successful propagation.
