Whitwick & District U3A - Propagation Group

Objective

The Propagation Group is for everyone interested in propagating plants from beginners to experienced. This new group held its first meeting on the 22nd July and is already full. Feel free to join the reserve list and any spare spaces for a session will be offered to those on the list.

There is a £3 contribution for refreshments and materials such as compost, sand, propagation pods.

To avoid overcrowding sessions numbers are limited to ten per session, with two similar sessions being run each month to try to accommodate everyone.

Venue

The startup meeting will be in Griffydam, but future meetings will include other venues.

Timing

Meeting dates will vary and be chosen to suit members availability.

November 10th and 19th
