The Botanic Garden at Historic Barns Park will present an upcoming workshop from 6 to 7:30 p.m., April 22, 2024, on plant propagation with an emphasis on turning kitchen scraps into thriving plants for your home garden. The workshop will be led by Matthew Ross, the Garden’s executive director and a nationally recognized leader in horticulture and gardening.

Attendees can look forward to a hands-on experience learning about the various ways in which plants can be propagated, with a focus on unusual edible plants. Participants will have the opportunity to work with a variety of herbs, root crops and seed materials that can be grown indoors in preparation for planting later in the spring. The workshop promises to provide a new perspective on what is possible through propagation, as well as the opportunity to take home a variety of new plants.

“We are thrilled to offer this workshop to the community,” says Matthew Ross. “It’s a great opportunity for people to learn how to make the most of their leftover veggie scraps and create a sustainable home garden.”
