Everyone loves free plants! Join us this Saturday 5/20/2023 at 10am at Phat Ninja Foodforest, 43 Bull Mountain Road, 28805 and learn the different methods to quickly multiply a variety of different plants for your garden/landscape.
You will leave this class with cuttings and all the knowledge to go home and take cuttings of your own. We will have a variety of mother plants for understory berry bushes available as well.

I have found that when we start adding food bearing shrubs, bushes and trees to our landscape, an addiction sets in. After a trip or two to the nursery the shock sets in of what it will cost to build a foodforest. Nature makes it much more affordable when we observe her patterns. We began planting our foodforest while struggling financially over a decade ago. We wanted a lush food filled landscape but began to understand what plants cost and didn’t see a viable option.
One day while walking my dog I stopped to talk to a friend that was pruning his bushes. He gave me some fig, gooseberry and jostaberry prunings and said to plant them in a medium and keep them moist and they would grow news plants. I thought he was full of fertilizer but sure enough, even after they were forgotten and neglected for a couple months, half showed up that summer as healthy plants! They are still here producing food and new plants over a decade later.
We have become passionate about sharing the surplus and we now have a small greenhouse set up for hardwood, softwood and semi hardwood cuttings
