Houseplants: The Indoor Jungle- November 16th 10-11:30AM Location: Ben Robertson Community Center 

Are you an indoor plant parent and have questions about the health of your plants? In this class we will dive into the world of indoor plants. We will discuss growing requirements as well as troubleshoot common problems like low light, pests and pathogens. We will explore diagnostics for these issues and useful tools and tricks to address them. Participants are invited to bring pictures of their houseplants to show off or diagnose as a group. This workshop is led by our Garden Manager, Hanna Young. 

DIY Holiday Wreath Making- December 14th 10AM-Noon Location: Ben Robertson Community Center 

If you are looking to add a natural touch to your holiday decorations join us for a wreath making class. Participants will learn how to make and decorate a natural 12” wreath to take home with them. Dried materials from the garden will be provided to create and decorate wreaths, but participants are asked to bring their own wired ribbon. The timing of this class has been planned so that wreaths will still be fresh to display throughout the holidays! This workshop is led by our Garden Manager, Hanna Young. 

Instant Bonsai: Pruning and Wiring- January 18th 10AM-Noon Location: Ben Robertson Community Center 

So, you have a bonsai, now what??  This class will answer that question!  During this workshop get hands on practice pruning, wiring, and discuss future care and maintenance. Participants are welcome to bring their existing bonsai to wire and/or receive bonsai maintenance tips. This class is meant to be an extension of our Bonsai for Beginners workshop, but guests are encouraged to join regardless of if they attended the intro class or not! All materials are provided. This workshop is led by our Horticulture Tech, Zack Aulbach.

I would have given this workshop a 5 star review if it had been more hands on rather than just a power point presentation with side visuals. Robert was very knowledgeable and super pleasant.
I learned a lot and also found out that I knew a lot about winterizing the garden.

Such a great course! The teacher was knowledgeable and answered questions well. I was thankful to take this class and know that what I learned will be useful later.
