Educating about Propagation for Wildlife

During the Open Day in March Australian Plant Society – Cardinia Region hosted a hands-on workshop on propagating plants to enhance biodiversity in your garden.

With support from the CEC staff and volunteers participants learnt techniques to grow native plants from seeds, cuttings and division.

Kym Bennett was a fantastic facilitator and participants left feeling inspired to try propagating more plants at home.
