Plant Propagation from Cuttings

Please join the Master Gardener of Nevada County for a free outdoor workshop[ on growing new plants from cuttings with softwood propagation techniques.

There are many types of shrubs and trees that can be started by cuttings, and winter into early spring is a good time to propagate softwood cuttings. At this hands-on workshop, the process will be demonstrated, and participants will be able to cut and start cuttings for their own gardens.

Learn what types of plants are suitable for propagation.
Explore the parts of the plant important to consider when taking a cutting.
Learn how to prepare cuttings for rooting and importance of rooting hormone.
Find out how to plant rooted stems and start some of your own!

Bring sharp pruning shears if you have them.
