  • Saturday, June 26, 9:00 am – 12:00 noon – Propagating Trees and Shrubs from Cuttings

    Cuttings, one of Polly Hill’s favorite ways for sharing superior plants, produce plants genetically identical to the parent. Come to the Polly Hill Arboretum, 809 State Road, West Tisbury, on Saturday, June 26, beginning at 9 am, and join Jack Alexander, longtime Arnold Arboretum propagator, to learn how to propagate woody plants from softwood cuttings. After an introductory lecture, participants will collect cuttings from the Arboretum grounds, and then return to the greenhouse to learn techniques. You will leave with a small box of cuttings. Please bring a pair of hand pruners; a sharp knife and apron would also be a welcome accessory. Please pre-register; space is limited to 12. An assumption-of-risk release form must be signed to participate in this workshop. $55/$50 for PHA members.  For more information, or to register, log on to www.pollyhillarboretum.org.
