Perennial Propagation from Cuttings with Jeff Margreiter
This hands-on workshop will help you understand both the art and science of rooting vegetative cuttings to produce new plants. You’ll learn correct technique, process and materials to help you propagate a wide diversity of plant types by cutting. You’ll choose from a variety of different species to take cuttings from and build a plug tray that will stay in our nursery until the cuttings are rooted and ready to take home! Our instructors are in high demand. Reserve your ticket now to hold your spot. Please keep in mind that all ticket purchases are final sale. Tickets are non-refundable and non-exchangeable, but do feel free to share your ticket with someone else if something comes up and you can’t make it. All programs and events are rain or shine.

All levels welcome. Sneakers encouraged. $10 at the door, or pay in advance through Venmo direct to host @vbmills (Valerie Mills).
