Do you want to expand the quantity of annuals, perennials, and shrubs in your garden or overwinter your favorite annuals for next summer’s planting? Propagation from cuttings is a fun and easy way to do this. This program will cover simple steps for soft- and semi-hard (summer) cuttings. You will learn how to select and prepare the cuttings, use rooting hormones and rooting media, and see some simple ways to prepare different types of propagation containers for light and humidity. You will have the opportunity to go into the Learning Garden, take some cuttings, put them in propagation chambers and take them home as your own plant propagation experiments.
The first part of the program will be held inside. We will then have the opportunity to go outside and see the many plants this garden has to offer. Please dress appropriately for being outside in the garden.
