“There’s not a day in the year that something can’t be propagated.” – Anya Lautenbach
Spend the evening in The Apple House with bestselling author Zia Allaway and Instagram’s propagation queen Anya Lautenbach, to celebrate the launch of Anya’s brilliant new book The Money-Saving Garden Year: A Month-by-Month Guide to a Great Garden that Costs Less.

During the talk Anya will offer practical advice on everything from when to plant seedlings to the best time to propagate different plants, as well as demonstrating some easy propagation techniques. Afterwards, Anya will be signing copies of her new book, which will be for sale at the event by local independent bookseller Books On The Hill. The ideal gift for your Christmas list.
