Charlotte invited to get growing in plant propagation workshop
A Charlotte area workshop will share a variety of methods for propagating plants, and registration for the activity is open to anyone who is 12 or older.
Whether to save money, or reproduce rare or unusual plants, propagation techniques can be useful additions to almost any green thumb’s toolbox. Belmont’s Daniel Stowe Botanical Garden counts many unusual cultivars in its collection, and its staff horticulturalists use a variety of propagation methods to increase their numbers and revive “tired” plants. The facility’s Director of Horticulture Jeff Wuilliez will serve as the facilitator for the session, and he will share tips, answer questions and help everyone who participates to get growing.
During the session, the learners will discover techniques such as rooting cuttings, layering and other ways of getting new plants, and to help them get started, each participants will leave with a plant cutting of their own to grow on at home. If the host of a workshop like this supplies each participant with a sheet of care tips, they will be able to keep their new green friend healthy and thriving, and stationery printers will be able to provide them.
The Daniel Stowe Botanical garden has scheduled this event for the morning of August 22, and it is scheduled to start at 10:30 am. The fee to register in $45, and this can be done through its online listing.
