Have you wanted to start a garden but don’t know where to begin? Maybe you’ve got a little bit of experience under your belt but something’s just not quite working the way it should. Join us for a half-day crash course in everything it takes to be a successful gardener. We will discuss soil, seed starting, sun and shade, irrigation, fertilizing, selecting varieties, botany for the gardener, and more. Let’s grow!

Learn how to create your own floral arrangement using seasonal flowers and foliage collected from the garden grounds. We’ll begin with a basic introduction on floral design, go over the already collected materials available, and then head outside to collect a few items together. We’ll end the class by creating our arrangements to take home, as well as discussing tips for foraging in your own yard and ways to prolong the life of your arrangements.

Beloved but feared, the orchid (Phalaenopsis spp and more) finds itself so often relegated to the category of ‘plants I can never keep alive,’ but did you know that orchids are actually a fairly easy plant to maintain once you learn about their unique needs and habits? Join us as we learn about absolutely everything we can about different types of orchids, what they need, how to grow them, where they come from, and more. Enjoy the orchids on display for our Orchid Ikebana exhibit. Guests will leave with an orchid of their own.
