Description

We are keeping the price deliberately low for this course and we also have a three price system:

  • Standard rate – £49
  • Pay-it-forward rate – £69  (paying this enables us to offer the lower rate below)
  • Lower rate – £29 (this rate is for unwaged / low waged. We can only offer a limited number of these places, if they are sold out and this is a barrier to you booking on, then please get in touch with us and explain your situation)

 

This one day course gives you a fantastic chance to learn how to propagate trees, shrubs and perennials in the ART nursery. Aimed at both the amateur grower and those thinking of starting a small nursery themselves, the subjects covered include:

  • Propagation by seed – seed pretreatments, composts, pests, diseases, containers, options for potting on
  • Propagation by cuttings: summers, autumn and spring cuttings – composts, water and heat requirements
  • Propagation by grafting – tools, rootstocks, scionwood, hot pipes, cleft grafting, budding
  • Layering
  • Propagation of bulbs and tubers
  • Nursery logistics – planning a nursery layout, irrigation systems, pot management, pot and cell types, composts, pests, diseases, weed control
  • Selling plants – legalities, webshops, sending plants, importing/exporting post brexit

We don’t think you’ll get this amount of useful practical knowledge about propagating edibles anywhere else! Teaching will be in small groups by all of the experienced ART team.

We’re aiming to run this one day course on several days through the summer of 2025 so more dates are likely to be added.

Bring your own lunch (although we’ll aim to pick a forest garden salad to share!) Drinks included.
