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-hardwood (summer) cuttings. You will learn how to select and prepare the cuttings, use rooting hormones and rooting media, and see some simple propagation containers.

We will have selected cuttings for you to use and you will have the opportunity to go into the Learning Garden for some additional cuttings, put them in propagation chambers and take them home as your own plant propagation experiments.

Registration: The talk is free, but seating is limited and registration is required. If you encounter problems registering or if you have questions, call 828-255-5522.
