Fig Propagation Workshop

Saturday, March 23rd  1:00 – 3:00
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

    1:00 pm - 3:00 pm
A friendly heads up to Park-goers: Maple and Pine avenues at Cladastris Avenue are temporarily closed for approximately 4-6 weeks, limiting vehicle access to Park Avenue via FC Greene Memorial Boulevard. 

This temporary closure makes way for boardwalk construction at Cunliff Lake, a public access project that will enhance recreational opportunities at Roger Williams Park!

During this period, traffic will be detoured to park entrance and exit locations at Broad Street and Montgomery Avenue and Elmwood Avenue. Drivers using the Elmwood Avenue exit will follow Cladastris Avenue to FC Greene Memorial Boulevard to Linden Avenue to Elmwood Avenue south to Park Avenue east. Those using the Broad Street and Montgomery Avenue exit will follow Cladastris Avenue to Montgomery Avenue to Broad Street south to Warwick Avenue south to Park Avenue west.

Pedestrian and bicycle access will remain open. However, visitors are advised to follow posted signage and respect all barriers, as a crane will be active weekdays from 7AM to 3PM.
