On this practical course you will learn about plant propagation, the production of more plants by seeds, cuttings, grafting or other methods. You will gain experience of techniques for vegetative propagation including: air or ground layering; division; grafting and bud grafting, widely used in fruit tree propagation; micro propagation; stolons or runners; storage organs such as bulbs, corms, tubers and rhizomes; striking or cuttings and twin-scaling. Practical work will include planting out seedlings, sowing and planting seeds, hoeing, watering and composting.
