Propagation

As the techniques of propagation are changing, the Gardening team has organised training sessions for members. As well as setting up a complex for seed germination and the rooting of cuttings, a start has also been made on propagating, by grafting, one of the most difficult but desirable plants in the garden - Daphne bholua Jacqueline Postill.

Any members who would like to become involved in 'hands on' propagation for a short spell, or regularly, will be welcome.
