Let's Grow Your Mind! Series

If you’ve ever wondered about the quirky, fascinating, and unexpected corners of horticulture, the Let’s Grow Your Mind education series is for you! From plant folklore and pollinator behavior to soil secrets and botanical oddities, these sessions are as entertaining as they are enlightening.  Whether you're a seasoned grower or just plant-curious, come feed your mind and grow your garden know-how in ways you never expected!

Growing Up - Vertical Gardening for Small Stylish Spaces

Vertical gardening offers an efficient and visually striking way to grow plants in limited spaces by taking advantage of upward structures rather than horizontal ground area. This class will explore design principles, plant selection, and structural options that maximize productivity while enhancing aesthetic appeal. Participants will learn how to integrate edible and ornamental plants into vertical systems that suit balconies, patios, and compact urban landscapes. By the end of the session, attendees will understand how to create vibrant, space‑saving vertical gardens that are both functional and beautiful.
