The Fall Cuttings Exchange will meet at 10:30 a.m., Saturday

new to this economical method of acquiring new plants, we’ll start
with a brief demonstration of some basic and easy techniques. Plants
to try will include scented pelargoniums, unusual salvias,
impatiens, begonias, and more. Bring small clippers, plastic bags,
and a 2-3″ clean pot for starting a cutting at the demonstration.
Bringing plants to share is encouraged, but not required. After the
