Planning Ahead: Designing Your Garden for a Better Spring

Start the new year with fresh ideas and a plan you can feel confident about. Whether you’re dreaming up a brand-new garden or giving an existing space a thoughtful refresh, this class will help you lay the groundwork for a thriving, beautiful landscape.

Our team will walk you through essential design principles—choosing the right plant for the right place, creating focal points, balancing color and texture, understanding function and maintenance, planning for deer pressure, and building year-round interest. We’ll also touch on hardscaping and how the right structural elements can bring your whole design together.

We’ll kick things off with a 2026 preview, including plants we’re excited to grow in our greenhouses this winter.

Tickets: $25 per person

Includes light refreshments and entry for door prizes. Arrive a little early to grab a snack and get settled before class begins at 6:30 PM.
