Full-day practical master class with Jekka
Success with cuttings and raising plants from seed
Nothing is more inspiring than taking a cutting from a plant, then watching it grow and become identical to its parent. Equally it is quite magical to sow seeds and watch them unfurl into a productive plant. At the end of this day you will be able to take your cuttings and sowings home with you so you can watch this amazing transformation. You will then be able to plant them in your garden so that you can sample the delights of your days’ work.
In the morning you will learn about sowing seeds, which includes how to handle seeds, different types of seed, the compost and medium used to sow seeds and how to water seeds in. In addition, you will discuss pricking out and potting up.
In the afternoon, Jekka will teach you her sustainable technique for growing cuttings that uses no rooting powder or growth hormones. . You will learn different techniques for taking cuttings depending on the plant that can then be used for a variety of herbs or other plants. As with sowing seeds, Jekka will cover soil and watering techniques for cuttings.
At the end of the day, you will be confident in growing herbs both by seeds and cuttings using environmentally friendly and sustainable techniques. The same techniques that Jekka uses to grow her award-winning herbs.
