Everyone in the class gets 20% off any other purchases made on the day of the workshop. Sessions are at 2:00 PM on Saturday November 28, Sunday November 29 and Saturday December 5 — pick the day that works.

Session at 11:00 AM on Saturday, November 28.
Workshop
Container Gardening Class — March 20, March 27 and April 3
Our spring Container Gardening Class, now in its 20th year. $40 per person. Bring up to three pots of your own, or we'll provide three at no extra cost. You'll watch a demonstration of proper planting techniques, see new plant varieties, choose the plants you like, then plant your container and leave it with us — we care for it until it's safe to take home, and you pick it up by Mother's Day Weekend. Sessions start at 10am and 2pm on March 20, March 27 and April 3; pick the day and time that works. Plants aren't included in the $40 fee and are charged at the end of class. Class fees are non-refundable. If you bring your own pots there may be a fee for additional soil if your pots use more soil than what we provide in class.
