Cuttings Afternoon - 23rd October, 2.00pm
The Cuttings Afternoon will be held at Nicholas & Carmel Ryan's house.
This is a great time to be taking cuttings to increase your plant stock or to grow plants for sale at our Plant Sale in May next year.
The list of plants that can be propagated from cuttings is endless, roses, lavender, hydrangeas, fuschias, penstemon, pelargoniums, osteospermum, coleus.
Some of our 'expert' members will be on hand to show you how to take cuttings, prepare them, plant them and look after them.
These afternoons are great social occasions, why not come along and have a go!
