During the course of filming in the UK’s finest gardens we observed the skills behind the successful propagation of plants on which gardens depend so heavily. This DVD provides the viewer with the skills needed to propagate plants, from the basic first steps through to more advanced technical skills. The head gardeners and their teams demonstrate their own individual and in many cases unique propagation methods and techniques – some never before seen on film. Propagation for many gardeners is a daunting task, fraught with uncertainty and high a risk of failure. This DVD gives expert advice from the head gardeners, showing how we can all not only extend the lives of our plants, but get more value from them through the use of cuttings for example to increase our own plant populations. It gives extensive coverage to all major aspects of propagation from seed sowing to planting, cuttings, grafting and many other skills.
All of the advice is given in clear step-by-step procedures ensuring you have all the support and help needed to make more from the plants that you have.
The areas covered include: Preparation. Sowing. Basic propagation. Advanced propagation.
