Four Seasons Native Container Garden Workshop
Join staff members Desirae and Nick as they guide you through creating a container garden with native plants. This great for those who ever never tried to create a container native plant garden. Desirae and Nick have curated a selection of native plants that will work well in a container together. The plants they chose are a nice mixture of spring, summer, and fall bloomers as well as plants with attractive foliage and varying textures. Our container workshops are always a big hit!
PLEASE BRING YOUR OWN CONTAINER. We will provide the potting soil, plants, and care information. More details and registration HERE.

Learn All About Pawpaw Trees!
Join horticulturalist Brandon Everett for a fun talk about the pawpaw tree (Asimina triloba), which bears the largest fruit of any plant in North America…and its edible! He’ll include information on their history, cultivation, and culinary uses. We will walk around the nursery and view some of our specimen pawpaw trees. Curious why you do not paw-paws at your local supermarket? We will talk about that too!
This talk is informal and open discussion is encouraged, so please bring your questions. Expect this talk to last about 60 minutes.
This talk is free but we ask you register so we know how many folks are coming to join us. More information and registration HERE

Nursery Garden Tours – most Tuesday Mornings, April – October
We offer a free, guided nursery garden tour almost every Tuesday of the season (April – October). Tour starts at 10:00AM. Check out what is in bloom, look for visiting birds and pollinators, and learn interesting facts about the plants at our nursery. This is a great introduction as to what to expect from native species in your own landscapes.
