🌱 ONE PLANT, LOTS MORE PLANTS! DISCOVER THE ART OF PROPAGATION! 🌿
Saturday 24 October | 10.30am–3pm | Carshalton
Why buy more plants when you could grow your own? From a single leaf, root or cutting, you can create a whole new plant — and before long, have enough to fill your garden, brighten your allotment and share with friends!
Plant propagation might sound like a mysterious art, but it's surprisingly logical, wonderfully satisfying and, once you get started, rather addictive!
🍂 Join us for a very practical, hands-on Autumn & Winter Plant Propagation Workshop, making full use of EcoLocal's Garden Hall and beautiful Victorian Walled Garden.
You'll spend the day getting stuck in and trying out techniques for yourself, discovering how to produce new plants throughout the shorter, cooler days of autumn and winter.
🌿 You'll explore and practise:
Hardwood cuttings
Leaf cuttings
Root cuttings
Air layering
Seed sowing, including chipping and vernalisation
There'll be plenty of opportunities to get your hands dirty, pick up useful tips and discover techniques that might surprise even experienced gardeners.
🌱 And you'll take home a selection of propagated plants, along with the skills and confidence to grow many more!
Whether you're completely new to propagation or an experienced gardener keen to try something different, this is a chance to learn by doing.
