Talk by Angus Stewart
Time: 8.00pm
Would you like to hear how to propagate from an expert? Then come to our April meeting.
Angus Stewart is a well known radio and TV presenter. He knows all sorts of things about plants.
Angus recently released his book, Let's Propagate! : A Plant Propagation Manual for Australia, published by Allen and Unwin. You can learn how to propagate at home and save the expense of buying new plants. Your plants would also make great gifts. Or perhaps you can sell them.
Angus will talk about methods such as: Stem Cuttings, Leaf Cuttings, Root Cuttings, Layering, Division, Separation. Plant Tissue Culture, Budding and Grafting. For your use at home, his book contains a list of Commonly Encountered Plants, when to try propagating them and which method to use for each.
What a great treat to have Angus speaking at our local group meeting! Visitors are always welcome and supper is free!

Come along and learn how to grow plants from seeds and cuttings
Each month a group of industrious members get together at Bidjigal Community Nursery. We start at 10am and stop for morning tea, finishing at about 1pm. But visitors are welcome to join us at any time and stay for as long as they like. We always have plenty to do and welcome another pair of hands. We meet in the second Wednesday of each month and always feel a sense of achievement when we leave.
IF you are joining us for the first time, just turn in to the left off Renown Road, opposite the Baulkham Hills Sporting Club. Then drive right down to the end of the carpark and you will see the 
nursery just over the hill on the right. We park in the back right corner of the carpark and walk down the short road to the double security gates. Then you will see us at the central tables, undercover.
The advantage of this is that you can save money by growing your own plants at home, using the knowledge you gain when you are with us. Also we will be happy to give you a free native plant for helping us.
