Gardening doesn’t have to be expensive. Join us at the Wildflower Garden for a workshop hosted by Kerrie Anderson. By learning basic propagation and seed saving skills you can create an abundant, productive garden very quickly. This workshop will teach you how to successfully propagate plants (making new plants from old) from vegetative and root cuttings, layering, division and seed. Basic seed saving information and practical experience is included. You will get hands on experience making a propagation mix, practicing the different types of propagation and making newspaper pots. You will leave the workshop with new skills, a sense of achievement and take home some newly propagated plants for your own edible garden.
