From Cuttings to Cactus

Succulents and cacti are some of the most fascinating and rewarding plants to grow. They are, however, complex plants with unique growing requirements. This workshop aims to teach anyone with an interest in succulents and cacti to master the basics of growing these diverse plants.

After an introduction to the succulent and cactus collection here at the Newt (as seen at the Chelsea Flower Show 2025), we will get hands on. You will learn tips and tricks on growing, followed by actively propagating these plants, with cuttings and seeds, and mastering the art of potting media. At the end of the workshop, you will have some cacti and succulents of your own to take home with you, along with the knowledge to cultivate them successfully.
