I have started hypertufa and concrete birdbath and steppingstone classes. I apologize to any of you who signed up at my plant sale as I have misplaced the signup sheet. Contact me and we can set up a class of up to 4 people.

Lessons from the Garden:

People have suggested I offer some gardening classes in my gardens so here we go. There will be 2 sessions of a mid-summer class on good gardening practices, Wed. July 14 th at 7 PM and Saturday July 17 th at 11 AM. The classes will include seasonal gardening tips, what to do about pests and diseases along with answering any questions you may have. The Garden session will last about an hour followed by 1/2 hour of refreshments and conversation on the porch. There will be a limit of 5 per class so everyone can see and have the opportunity to ask questions. The cost will be $25/person. Your reservation will be honored when payment is received. If you have any questions just give a call or email – contact info is below.

Don’t forget to contact me for a garden consult. I can help improve your garden and gardening practices as well as save you time and money! It’s not too late for improvements.
