Summer\, is the best time to collect and root “soft” cuttings (sage\, salvias\, scented geraniums) and some “semi-hardwood” cuttings (lavender\, rosemary\, Chilean guava). Once we get to Autumn\, we are dividing of plants like rhubarb\, comfrey\, mint\, thyme and berry canes\, with more “semi-hardwood cuttings.” \nTree propagation will also be covered.  You’ll learn about grafting theory and get practical experience using a grafting tool; rootstock production of apple and quince; how to grow rootstocks by mound layering; and how peaches and plums can be grown from seeds. \nTwo dates to choose from for Propagation – Summer Softwoods\nDue to everyone’s busy schedules\, we’ll be running parallel and identical Saturday and Tuesday courses. (Tuesday hours\, 9:30-2:30\, intended to be parent-friendly) \nSaturday 9 November 2019\nTuesday 19 November 2019 \nRegister for this workshop and other Garden Essentials workshops here >> \n URL:http://plentypermaculture.co.nz/event/propagation-summer-softwoods-sat-9-nov-or-tues-12-nov/ LOCATION:Plenty Permaculture\, 375 Whakamarama Rd\, Tauranga\, BOP\, 3179\, New Zealand CATEGORIES:Garden Essentials Workshops GEO:-37.7093107;176.0018286 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=Plenty Permaculture 375 Whakamarama Rd Tauranga BOP 3179 New Zealand;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=375 Whakamarama Rd:geo:176.0018286,-37.7093107 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
