Native Plant Propagation Workshop - Smoke Treatment Special

Native Plant Propagation Workshop - Smoke Treatment Special

Come and learn about propagating native plants in a special propagation workshop where we break out the BBQ and delve into smoke treatment!

The workshop will cover:

• Introduction to propagation including basic requirements for seed germination and plant growth
• Information about seed dormancy and the treatment methods to overcome them including hands on demonstration of smoke and heat treatments 
• From seed to seedling demonstrations (seed treatments, seed sowing and pricking out seedlings)

There’ll be opportunities to get your hands dirty and practice what you’ve learnt with demonstration of techniques and hands-on guided experience

Participants will get some take home resources outlining information covered in the workshop as well as access to themed information sheets covering:  

• Plants for waterways and wetlands
• Habitat plants for birds and bats 
• Plants for pollinators 

This workshop is available on Friday May 23 from 11 am to 2 pm.

Capacity is limited so get in quick to book your spot!

During the month of May we will also be hosting two Seed Collecting sessions. For more information about these workshops please visit our Humanitix profile.
