Plant party: Propagation for kids and grown-ups!

Join passionate landscape gardener and educator Kieran Dickson for this fun, family-friendly hands-on workshop designed for beginner gardeners of all ages!

In this practical session, you’ll learn the basics of propagating plants from seeds, cuttings, and division. Whether you want to grow vegetables, herbs, flowers, or ornamental plants, you’ll discover simple, money-saving techniques that work beautifully in backyards, balconies, or small spaces. Expect plenty of live demonstrations, practical tips, and the chance to take home your own propagated plants to get started straight away.

Kieran loves making gardening accessible and affordable for everyone. With experience creating gardens in schools, public parks, backyards, apartment complexes, and community spaces across Melbourne, he enjoys sharing easy propagation methods that anyone, kids and adults alike can try at home.

This interactive workshop is perfect for families who want to grow more for less and have fun while learning together.
