As gardeners we love to share what we grow. We can often be found out in the gardening doing cuttings for friends or planting out a plant a friend grew for us. You can imagine then that one of the most common questions we get asked is “how do I propagate that plant?” 

During this Masterclass, I will discuss 

• different plants to propagate

• Plant Breeding Rights and what does it mean to us

• The many ways to propagate and the pros and cons of each

• The morphology and physiology of plants and plant “hormones”

• What Media is best

In this class you will learn: 

• How to prepare a working environment and which tools are required

• How to identify softwood and semi-hardwood plants

• Different ways to propagate Tip cuttings, splitting, rhizomes and stems as well as an air layering demonstration.

• How to pot up your rooted cutting to the next stage

• How to mix your own media

You will take home: 

• A newfound knowledge

• Your newly propagated plants, created during the workshop
