About the course

What will we do at this class?

Who should attend?

Home gardeners are the target audience for this class but anyone is welcome to participate.

What should I bring?

Paper, pen/pencil, and an interest in learning with the option to have ready site/plant specific questions, landscape map/plan, concerns/hold ups.

What will attendees receive?

This class will include a presentation with some demonstration of plants and garden design. Following will be time for questions, discussion, and selecting plants to take home. A comprehensive overview of native plants, confidence to design, plant, and maintain native plants in home landscapes, take-home resources and community links to dig deeper into native plants, and 15% off to purchase native plants from Above the Dirt Garden Shop that day.
