Description

Multiply your garden! Learn how to create new plants from seeds, cuttings and divisions in this engaging workshop. You will become familiar with the way plants reproduce themselves, and will feel confident in your ability to create a vibrant garden through plant propagation.

In this workshop, we will learn about:

  • Taking cuttings from shrubs and trees
  • Dividing perennials
  • Propagating plants from layered cuttings
  • Starting seeds, with a focus on seeds that need special techniques to get them to grow

This in-person class will take place primarily outdoors and will include lecture, discussion and hands-on activities. Class size is limited to 15 people, and we will be following current public health recommendations. Please dress for the weather.
