Know Before You Go: Shop for Plants like a Pro

Do you find yourself wandering the aisles of your local plant nursery with no idea what you’re looking for? Have you ever brought home a beautiful new plant only to have it die as soon as you put it in the ground? Are you concerned about invasive species, cultivars and flashy marketing jargon? Then this class is for you!

We’ll go behind the scenes of the nursery industry to help you understand what to look for when you’re shopping for your garden. You’ll learn how to choose the right plants, warning signs to watch out for and what questions you should be asking the staff before you make your purchase.

This class is great for anyone with a garden, from beginners to long-time experts. You’ll leave armed with the knowledge to become a super shopper this spring, as well as a list of trusted local nurseries.
