Summer Plant Propagation Workshop
Sunday 18 January @ 10am – 1pm
January is the optimal month for successful propagation. It’s the perfect time for new growth, anyone can achieve fantastic results – so what better time to join our Propagation Workshop?!
Limited numbers so book early here
The workshop will cover:
Selecting the best plant material – a practical session as we walk around the gardens looking for good cutting material
Best methods to take cuttings – how to trim your cuttings for best rooting of new plants
Home setup for good success with cuttings – proven ways to ensure survival and rooting of cuttings in the home environment
Potting mix for cuttings – what works in individual environments. Including natives vs exotics.
Fertilising cuttings – ensuring cuttings become plants
Potting up – when and how to pot up a cutting so it lives
A lot to take in as it will be so hands on, so we will break for morning tea with home made delights from our SHBG baking friends.
At the end of the day you take home an SHBG bag including propagation mix, propagating pots, printed step by step guide to plant propagation and some cutting material to try at home.
What to bring:
Gloves essential and your own secateurs. Bring a hat, wear a T-shirt, have a jumper and raincoat in your bag – you know the weather in the highlands!
We will meet in the Bunya Pavilion – with air conditioning. Parts of the workshop will also be held outdoors.
