Plant Workshop: Propagation
Sat | March 26 | 2-3pm

Books are not the only things we share in the library. If you love plants, Hickory Public Library invites you to come to an open house celebrating our Plant Share and Propagation Library. As part of our developing makerspace, the Plant Share and Propagation Library allows patrons to share plants; donate what you’d like, take what you can use! We will have a hands-on propagation lesson where attendees will get to leave with a plant start and learn how to propagate plants on their own. The library’s developing makerspace offers our community hands-on learning and creative opportunities, ensuring we can grow together. Check out our first step in the Learning Lab. First come, first served.
