ONLINE COURSE HOME PROPAGATION
" Thanks for the videos, they are great! I got a lot of information from them. The Turf Management video is practical and easy to understand. Plant Propagation is a video every student should watch because out here in the real world no-one would give out such information. The Rose Growing Tape was very beneficial to me as I have about 60 odd roses. I thought I knew a little about them but this tape is a real eye-opener."

Growing your own healthy plants from next to nothing can be a facinating and rewarding hobby. If you love plant collecting it can help save on the cost of buying plants. It can also provide presents you can give to freinds and relatives; or donate to community projects.
Another Alternative:
Our principal has written two books that can help you learn about plant propagation.
We've also produced a comprehensive video that can be purchased as a DVD to learn all about propagation.
