Houseplants for free

Tutor: Rachel Moore, keen gardener and print artist

Join Rachel, as she shares her passion for gardening with you in this session where she shows you how to use your existing displays to get houseplants for free. During the session she demonstrates how some houseplants are so easy to propagate that all you need is a jam jar of water to start them off. Once your plants have taken root you pot them, or why not try turning them into Kokedama gardens as shown in a previous session by Rachel here!
