POSTPONED UNTIL 2025!
*To get the most from this workshop it is recommended that the student take the individual plant propagation classes first.
Join us for a day of fulfilling and productive plant propagation! We will utilize all the possibilities of gardens full of ‘Mother Plants’ and you will leave with lots of wonderful new additions for your own habitat garden!
We will begin with a review of the basic methods of propagation: starting from seeds, cloning plants, and plants from division. Then we’ll walk the gardens looking closely at the phenology of each potential mother plant to determine what is ‘on offer’.
Once we’ve collected our propagules, we’ll get busy under our work canopy to clean and package up seeds, strike fresh cuttings, and pot up other already rooted cuttings, and divide selected species.
Home Ground will provide all the tools and supplies as well as coffee/tea breaks and a buffet style lunch.
