Seed Propagation – Online Lunch & Learn
Join us for a Friday online Lunch & Learn session to develop practical skills to grow healthy plants from seed and other methods!
This workshop covers how to plant and care for seeds in punnets or directly in pots and garden beds, plus tips for making your own seed raising mix and troubleshooting common issues. Discover special techniques for germinating indigenous seeds, such as scarification, and explore simple propagation methods for fruit trees and herbs, including cuttings, division, and layering.
Perfectly timed to get you ready for a summer crop!
About the facilitator
Kat Lavers is a small space food production specialist, gardening educator and permaculture designer.
Her work reconnects people with the land, and possibilities, beneath their feet, helping transform postage stamp courtyards into pockets of abundance.
Kat’s urban system The Plummery is a tiny 1/14th acre (280m2) suburban block that pumps out almost all the household’s veggies, herbs, fruit and quail eggs – reaching 450kg of produce in 2020!
Kat has 20 years’ experience teaching alongside international permaculture legends like Rosemary Morrow, David Jacke and David Holmgren, and has worked with everyone from refugees in Malaysia to nomadic herders in Mongolia.
