UT & TSU Extension- Hardeman County

06/03/2026

🌱✂️ Last night, the Hardeman County Master Gardeners gathered for their June meeting and enjoyed an excellent hands-on presentation by Celeste Scott, UT Horticulture Specialist.

Celeste led members through a plant propagation workshop, demonstrating several methods for propagating different types of plant material. Members brought plant cuttings and materials from their own gardens to share, and Celeste also provided a variety of plants for participants to work with.

The evening was filled with learning, sharing, and plenty of hands-on experience as everyone had the opportunity to propagate multiple plants to take home. It was a great chance for gardeners to expand their skills while enjoying fellowship with fellow plant enthusiasts.

A special thank you to Celeste Scott for sharing her expertise and helping our Master Gardeners grow their knowledge—one plant at a time! 🌿
