Basic Propagation Workshop $50 Fee - Must Register

June 2 – 9:00 a.m. – 1:00 p.m.
Leslie Gover
Basic Propagation Workshop
Leslie’s goal is to demonstrate how plants reproduce so that the home gardener understands the best methods to use to refresh treasured plants in their own gardens. Join Leslie as she covers the fundamental steps for making and growing-on rooted cuttings, scaling lilies, dividing perennials, and cleaning and sowing seeds. Discover ways to look at the summer garden for other opportunities to increase your plants. Spend the morning learning about tools, techniques, timing and more. You will take your own “propagules” home with you to grow on and plant in your own garden.

There is a $50 fee for this four hour workshop that covers all materials which you will take home with you. Registration required for this class. To register please call us at 503-543-7474.

Leslie Gover has worked around plants since she was a very young girl planting her first garden. Joy Creek Nursery’s propagator has handled thousands of plants during the 15 years that she had headed up our greenhouse. During the course of those years, she has developed a list of reliable plants that she thinks gardeners should not be without. Fun and informational. Her background in ornamental horticulture from Oregon State University has allowed her to spend lots of time in the field in both a professional and personal capacity. As one of her personal goals, she began Daisytoes Nursery to teach her children what vegetables, business and a strong work ethic are all about.
