Annual Propagation Meeting
It’s time for one of our favorite events of the year. Come join us for our annual propagation workshop program! Let’s all refresh our memories as to the various techniques we use to propagate our favourite plants before diving into the plant material provided. Copious propagation material will be supplied via stem, leaf, and root cuttings. Come and get a propagation of something new to add to your collection. Also, seeds and pots will be provided for the GNYGS seed germination group project. Last year we had seeds of Sinningia hoehnei - this year we will have two selections. Members are encouraged to bring healthy, disease/pest-free plant material to share propagation material with the group.
As usual, we'll have coffee/refreshments, a fantastic sales plant, a judged Little Show, raffle, education, camaraderie and more. This meeting is not to be missed! Guests are welcome. Hope to see you then!
