Learn to multiply your houseplants and take home a new one at this hands-on workshop.

Part I

The details

About this event

If you're a plant enthusiast or just starting your green journey, this workshop at the Milwaukee Public Library is perfect for you. Led by UW Extension horticulturists, you'll learn practical techniques for propagating houseplants. It's a chance to expand your collection and knowledge without spending a dime.

The session is designed to be interactive, so bring a plant if you want to practice taking cuttings. Even if you don't have a plant to bring, you'll still leave with a new houseplant to nurture. Supplies are limited, so it's a good idea to arrive early to secure your spot.

From the organizer

Multiply your houseplants by taking cuttings of them. UW Extension urban horticulturists will show you how. Love houseplants? Do you want more of them to nurture or give away? Growing houseplants doesn't have to cost much. Join us as UW-Extension horticulturists demonstrate how to multiply your plants by taking a cutting from an existing plant and successfully starting another plant from that cutting. Other propagation methods will be discussed. Bring a houseplant from which you want to take a cutting to grow another plant or just bring yourself. A free houseplant will be available for you to take home. Supplies limited.

Part II · The feel

How it feels

The details organizers don't always put in the description — pulled from the room, the crowd, and what people remember afterward.

The room

Library rules. Whispers and a calm body — this is not a talking-out-loud room.

The crowd

Low-key. You can show up alone, sit back, and receive. No pressure to mingle or perform.
