GVST Gardening Essentials classes cover important topics that will help you establish and maintain a beautiful and water efficient landscape. The classes are always informal, interactive and fun. Whether you’re a seasoned gardener or a beginner, this in-person event is perfect for anyone looking to enhance their gardening knowledge or skills. You’ll have the opportunity to learn from expert gardeners and fellow gardening enthusiasts, who will share their knowledge and tips on various gardening techniques. From choosing the right plants for your garden to proper soil preparation and maintenance, we’ll cover all the essentials you need to know to help create a thriving garden.
Here are the basics:
You can bring a brown bag lunch /snack (or contribute and participate in the pot luck buffet).
We have door prizes at each class. A $5 donation is appreciated to support that activity.
You can have your hand-pruning tools sharpened ($3 ea.)
We host pass-along plants & sell tables. You’re welcome to bring plants and seeds to share with the group.
There are always knowledgeable gardeners there to ask and answer questions.
