Have you ever wanted to grow your own plants but felt unsure where to begin? Indoor plants? Outdoor garden?

This fun and friendly class will demystify the world of plants and gardening and give you the confidence to start or even revisit your green journey.

No garden? No problem! You’ll learn how to garden even from your windowsill or balcony!

It’s the perfect class for anyone with zero gardening experience, or who has ever accidentally “loved their plant to death.”

What will we cover?

In this introductory session, we’ll explore:

  • What a plant actually is and how it grows
  • The key things every plant needs to thrive (light, water, soil, etc.)
  • The basics of setting up your indoor garden
  • Easy-to-grow houseplants suited to different light and care levels
  • Tips on potting, placement, and troubleshooting common plant problems

    What will you need?

    A notebook is optional for jotting down notes, but your questions and curiosity is a must!
