Plant Propagation 101

Gardeners learn the mechanics of plant reproduction in this technical workshop led by the UF/IFAS Extension Sarasota County at Twin Lakes Park. The class covers the biological principles and practical steps required to multiply plants through cuttings, division, and layering. Instructors demonstrate exactly how and where to make cuts, the proper use of rooting hormones, and the ideal soil conditions for encouraging new root growth. The session equips participants with the skills to confidently expand their own gardens or share prized plant varieties without purchasing new nursery stock.
