Local gardening enthusiasts gathered at the Cherokee County Extension Office for the Fall Dividing Daylilies event, part of the Gardening with the Masters program. The event was hosted by the UGA Master Gardener Extension Volunteers and attracted a crowd eager to learn more about caring for daylilies.
The workshop focused on division techniques for daylilies, which is an important task to ensure the health and longevity of the plants. Master Gardener volunteers demonstrated how to dig up clumps of daylilies, carefully separate the individual plants, and replant them with proper spacing and soil amendments. Participants were able to get hands-on experience and ask questions throughout the demonstration.
The importance of dividing daylilies was emphasized by the Master Gardeners, as overcrowded plants can lead to decreased blooming and overall health. By dividing daylilies every few years, gardeners can promote new growth, improve flowering, and prevent the spread of disease. Proper division techniques were shared to help attendees successfully divide their daylilies at home.
In addition to the hands-on demonstration, attendees were also provided with educational materials and resources to further their gardening knowledge. The event was a valuable opportunity for local gardeners to connect with experienced Master Gardeners, learn new skills, and improve their gardening practices.
Overall, the Fall Dividing Daylilies event was a success, with participants leaving feeling more confident in their ability to care for their daylilies. The Gardening with the Masters program continues to provide valuable resources and support for the community’s gardening enthusiasts.
