PLANT PROPAGATION AND HOBBY GREENHOUSES HANDS-ON Multiply your garden favorites using seeds and cuttings! We will talk about the fundamental principles of plant propagation, from basic seed and cutting physiology, to methods and techniques in rooting perennials and woody plants, and the essential details of setting up a successful propagation setup. Learn how to propagate Georgia´s "best of the best" ornamentals, the Georgia Gold Medal winners. We will give you an opportunity to propagate native Georgia plants to spice up your plant palette. Best of all, there will be plenty of actual exercises to get your fingers dirty-and you can take home a load of cuttings and seeds when you leave! We will also talk about hobby greenhouses; from structures, to irrigation, misting, heating, cooling, and lighting, to growing media and fertilizers.
