Plants for Free! Propagation Basics Workshop

Description of the Workshop

These days many of us find ourselves having to cut back on luxuries. Gardening and getting new plants does not have to be one of these. This workshop aims to remove the mystery from propagation and show you how to make plants for free. We will be looking at the why, how and when of propagation, with particular  focus on dividing plants and taking cuttings. 

 The course aims to be as practical as possible, making full use of the lovely Langdon garden. My aim is for you to go home with a piece of divided plant and at least one cutting. If you have secateurs, it would be useful if you could bring them along. All other equipment etc will be provided. Questions will be very welcome.

Timing and Lunch

The workshop is from 10am – 1pm, with a short tea break mid-way. Afterwards, from 1.00-2.00pm, you are invited to stay on for lunch by the pond for more gardening chat with your trainer and fellow particiants.

For lunch you can bring your own or order a Wasted Kitchen salad plate for £7.50. (The Wasted Kitchen lunch is a selection of salads and dips that lead with seasonal, local and excess produce. Suitable for vegetarians. For other dietary options please contact us).

Workshop Facilitator - Gail Rowlands

My name is Gail. After teaching for 30+years I decided to follow my dream and garden. Over the years I have developed several gardens all on the Begged, Borrowed and Stolen method!! I am passionate about working with and for nature. I am also passionate about sharing gardening knowledge with others and demystifying as much of horticulture as I can. Since 2019 I have had the joy of developing the garden at Langdon using all the methods mentioned above.
