SUMMARY:Plant Propagation Class
DESCRIPTION: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.\nYou 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. \nI 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.\nOne 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.\nWe have become passionate about sharing the surplus and we now have a small greenhouse set up for hardwood\, softwood and semi hardwood cuttings \nClass runs 10am to noon. Fee is $20 due at start of class\, payment accepted via cash\, Venmo\, Paypal\, Cashapp to Phatninjafoodforest. Classes are held rain or shine. Parking available next door at the Asheville Mennonite Church.
