Are you new to the area or new to gardening? Make plans to attend Intro to Gardening in the South!
While gardening in the Southeastern U.S. can have its challenges, particularly for new gardeners and gardeners new to the area, this region is absolutely brimming with potential for creating diverse and breathtaking garden spaces. Join us for a morning symposium full of tips, tricks and insights into Gardening in the South so that your Southeastern garden can start strong and stay glorious!
We invite people new to the area or new to gardening to join us in person.
