What You’ll Learn:

This workshop is designed to teach you the essential skills of plant propagation in three different methods:

• Propagation by Seed: Discover the magic of starting plants from seeds! Learn about seed selection, preparation, and planting techniques to grow strong, healthy seedlings. We'll cover the importance of soil conditions, watering, and light exposure to help your seeds thrive.
• Propagation by Cuttings: Unlock the ability to clone your favorite plants! In this section, you'll learn how to take healthy cuttings from existing plants and root them successfully. We’ll explain how to choose the right cutting, prepare it, and care for it until it becomes a flourishing new plant.
• Propagation by Division: Perfect for those with established plants that need refreshing, division involves splitting plants into smaller pieces, each capable of growing into a new plant. We’ll show you the best practices for dividing perennials and bulbs without damaging the plant, giving you more plants from your existing collection.

What is Propagation?

Plant propagation is the process of creating new plants from a variety of sources, including seeds, cuttings, and other plant parts. It is a crucial skill for anyone looking to expand their garden, grow their own plants, or simply learn more about horticulture. Propagation allows gardeners to produce more plants from a single specimen, offering endless opportunities to multiply the plants you love.

Forms of Propagation:

• Seed Propagation: This method involves growing plants from seeds, which is the natural reproductive cycle of most plants. Seed propagation is cost-effective and allows for a greater variety of plant species.
• Cutting Propagation: A form of cloning, cutting propagation involves taking a piece of a plant, such as a leaf or stem, and encouraging it to grow roots. This method is popular for multiplying plants quickly.
• Division Propagation: Ideal for mature plants, division is the process of splitting one plant into multiple parts, each with its own root system. This is commonly done with perennials to rejuvenate and increase plant numbers.
