Seed Saving and Propagation with Narelle Happ – Green Connect

There’s so much more to plant, discover and share than what you’ll find available at nurseries!

Seed saving, seed raising and propagating plants are simple cost saving techniques that allow you to grow bountiful future seasonal crops in your own garden.

Join us for this half-day, hands-on, workshop and learn skills that will help you grow healthy crops, save money and share your bounty with others.

Come along to learn:

• Techniques for collection, saving and storing seeds from a range of plant types and families
• Tips for sowing seeds to achieve optimum germination
• Methods for propagating different types of plants using cuttings

Included:

• Lots of chances for hands-on learning to help you build skills and confidence
• A range of seeds and seed trays, including silverbeet, cucumber, eggplant, basil and tomatoes
• Propagated cuttings from salvias, peppermint geranium, pineapple sage and Warrigal greens
• Extensive workshop notes to take home
• Morning tea

Before you book, please consider:

• The site is a working farm and visitors must participate in a safety briefing at the beginning of the workshop.
• The terrain at the farm is particularly steep and slippery in parts. Though the workshop will take place primarily within our accessible education space, there is a possibility that participants will be required to walk across uneven or sloping ground. If you have mobility restrictions or any concerns about your ability to navigate the terrain, please contact us before booking.
• Plants love rain and so do we! We don’t cancel workshops in wet weather unless there is a dangerous storm. Please come prepared for the weather.
• Allergen advice: Our farm is home to domestic animals as well as bees, wasps, and macadamia trees. Please pack an EpiPen if allergic and keep it with you while on site.

All workshop participants must:

• Wear enclosed shoes or boots (no thongs or sandals) and clothes you don’t mind getting dirty. Long pants are recommended.
• Bring a hat and sunscreen or rain gear, depending on the weather forecast.
• Bring a pen/pencil and paper if you wish to take notes.
