Propagation Workshop Series: Late Summer Propagation with Hannah Fox (Bright Green Fox Nursery)

In the second of our series of practical propagation workshops, join plantswoman and propagation expert Hannah Fox formerly of Marchants Hardy Plants independent nursery, now running her own micro nursery Bright Green Fox, alongside the Plant Library Head Gardener Millie Souter to learn everything you need to know about seed collection and sowing, division, softwood and semi-ripe cuttings across a wide range of plant types.

Learn the practices and principles of how to best select, collect, sort and store seed as well as how new plants grow from softwood and semi-ripe cuttings, when and how to take them, as well as compost, timing and aftercare. Then, practice the techniques using plants from The Plant Library of over 1500 perennials and bulbs, to collect seeds and take cuttings with you to grow on at home.

Each workshop includes refreshments, materials and handouts and can be booked individually, or together as a course.
All profits go directly to fund the work of the Serge Hill Project for Gardening, Creativity and Health Community Interest Company.

Propagation Workshop Series

Join us in the Plant Library of over 1500 perennials and bulbs throughout the year for a series of 3 practical and hands-on propagation workshops, with some of the UK’s top nurserywomen including DERRY WATKINS (Special Plants Nursery), HANNAH FOX (formerly of Marchants Hardy Plants now of Bright Green Fox micro nursery) and BECKY READER (Great Dixter Nursery) alongside our Plant Library Head Gardener MILLIE SOUTER.

Across our Spring, Late Summer and Autumn/Winter workshops, you’ll learn all the basic principles and practices of plant propagation as our horticultural experts share everything they know about the best techniques and timings for taking cuttings, collecting and sowing seeds, layering, divisions, plus growing techniques and more. There will also be time for questions.
Propagating your own plants, whether from seed or by cuttings, is the most joyful, cost-effective and sustainable way to grow the plants you love, time and again.
