Spring Propagation Workshop with Rosy Hardy 30 April 2024

Join Rosy here at the nursery for a hands on, practical propagation workshop covering all aspects of herbaceous perennial propagation in a relaxed and friendly environment.

These workshops are aimed at the amateur/beginner gardener who wishes to learn the basic principles and practices associated with plant propagation. Rosy's aim is to enable participants to confidently use their newly acquired skills at home in their own gardens, to increase their plant propagation success rates and enjoy the experience of being able to produce their own plants. 

During the Spring Workshop Rosy will cover:

• The importance of Stock Plants and how to maintain them for propagation purposes.
• The tools, containers and growing media needed to take successful cuttings.
• How to take tip and basal cuttings and also root cuttings.
• How to split herbaceous plants and crucially the best times to do this.
• Q&As on problems associated with propagation. 

Participants will be able to take home a pair of snips - ARS Pruners - as used here on the nursery,  their cuttings, trays and pots at the end of session. 

Refreshments are included in the ticket price.
