Saturday, February 2, 9:30 am – 11:30 am – What to Propagate and How To Do It
So many propagation classes focus on the details of seed sowing, cuttings, divisions, and while this is indeed essential information the missing element is what you should be propagating. Sow hobblebush into a seed flat and you’d be lucky to see any seedlings come spring, sow bluets into that same seed flat and you will have bluets within the month. Join Dan Jaffe at Tower Hill Botanic Garden on February 2 from 9:30 – 11:30 to learn not only how to propagate, but what to propagate to maximize plantings.Go home with seed flats that you’ve sown in class for planting in your garden this spring. All materials included.
