2025 Gardening Classes

Date & Time Topic Description
Saturday, September 13th @ 10:00 am

All about Trees!

Come learn all about trees — planting, fertilizing, watering, mulching, pruning etc. After an hour long lecture learning the basics, we’ll take an hour long walk around our campus learning how to identify trees and seeing how proper and improper care affects their growth. This class will take place rain or shine, so please dress appropriately.

Saturday, October 25th @ 10:00 am Lawn Elimination and Reduction

Picturesque lawns require vast inputs of time, energy, lawn care products, and water, but offer little wildlife habitat or food for people. This program will cover the basics of lawn reduction or elimination for the homeowner. We will discuss your goals, budgeting time and money, site assessment and site preparation, as well as the selection of appropriate plant material, including tips for establishing a wildflower meadow.

Fee

$10 per class / $0 per class (solidarity pricing for those who cannot pay at this time)
