Join Dan Furman of Cricket Hill Garden for an in-depth presentation and demonstration on all aspects of peony propagation. The workshop will begin with a slide talk giving an overview of the world of peonies, followed by a demonstration of dividing an herbaceous peony as well as grafting a tree peony. Growing peonies from seed will also be discussed and demonstrated. Participants will be given a pack of peony seeds to sow in their own gardens. This is a workshop for all who love peonies and want to learn how to make more!
