Fig Propagation Workshop

at the Roger Williams Park Conservancy Botanical Center
Buy your tickets HERE

The Fig Mamma, Sandy Pavao-Pinarreta is coming to the Roger Williams Park Botanical Center to teach a class on propagating fig trees.  Learn how to prune and start cuttings and care for your fig.   We will be using cuttings from our very own fig tree located in our greenhouses. This highly versatile and deliciously sweet fig species has been growing here since 2010. Attendees will receive instruction and hands on potting at the event. 

Each person will receive their very own fig cutting to grow at home. Own a piece of our history!  Attendance is limited so sign up soon.   Tickets at link above  – Member: 30.00  Non-Member: 35.00

#GivingTuesday2025 is just around the corner, and we get it – there are so many wonderful local nonprofits seeking support this time of year!

Why include Roger Williams Park Conservancy in your giving plan? 

Behind the more than 50 free and low-cost programs hosted every year, the restoration of beloved historic structures still playing a role in the community today, and the expansive green spaces and waterways sustaining humans and wildlife alike, there are crucial partnerships and much hard work that goes into stewarding Roger Williams Park.

As Board Member Chris Lanen shares – and so many families can relate to! – "the Park provides [a] retreat into nature. Individually, it gives me a place to exercise and decompress. As a parent, it gives my child a magical place to play, explore, and learn throughout the year.”
