SUMMARY:The Basics of Propagation Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Our interactive propagation workshop has become one of our guaranteed sellout classes each year. The day-long hands-on workshop will cover an amazing array of propagation techniques including seed\, cuttings\, divisions\, plant breeding\, and darn near everything but grafting. The focus of the workshop is perennials\, but the techniques can be adapted to most plants. By the time you are finished\, you’ll leave with lots of goodies and feel ready to start your own nursery. The class is held in our non-air conditioned shipping shed\, so it may be quite hot during the class…dress accordingly. \n\n\n\nHost: Aaron Selby/ PDN staff

SUMMARY:Sex in the Garden - Propagation Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Come join Plant Delights Nursery production staff as they teach you how to propagate perennials via sexual propagation. This will be an entry level course that covers terminology and techniques used for producing plants via sexual reproduction. This class will be a more in depth and hands on experience into sexual plant propagation than our comprehensive plant propagation course held in spring. Many of our most popular topics like fern production\, and hand pollination\, will be included. All of the source plants come from our garden collections and production greenhouses so you are guaranteed to take home hundreds of dollars of freshly propagated perennials including rare plants\, exotic plants and native plants. Great bargain! \n\n\n\nHost: Aaron Selby/PDN staff

SUMMARY:Renewal Pruning
DESCRIPTION:Renewal pruning of shrubs is an essential skill for all gardeners growing flowering shrubs (plus blueberry and brambles). Though it is not applicable to all flowering shrubs\, it does apply to the majority of deciduous flowering shrubs. Renewal pruning maximizes the productivity of a plant\, which means more flowers and fruit. This class will start with classroom instruction followed by demonstration in the garden. \n\n\n\nHost: Doug Ruhren/ JLBG staff

SUMMARY:History of Plant Delights Nursery/Juniper Level Botanic Garden (Zoom presentation)
DESCRIPTION:Juniper Level Botanic Garden\, JLBG\, was established in 1986 when Raleigh native Tony Avent and his wife Michelle purchased a 2.2 acre abandoned sandy loam tobacco field (9241 Sauls Rd.) in the community of Juniper in Southern Wake County (central North Carolina). \n\n\n\nToday JLBG is a world-renowned botanic garden serving as a repository of plant genetics from around the globe. Our ex-situ plant conservation goal is to actively promote and preserve botanic diversity by sharing plants with gardeners around the world through Plant Delights Nursery. \n\n\n\nJoin Tony Avent on this zoom journey of JLBG/PDN’s history over the past 38 years!
