Description

Get ready for a houseplant revolution! We all need more green in our lives, and houseplants are the answer. These aren’t your grandmother’s dowdy, dusty plants, or plants that you would associate with windowsills — these are houseplants with panache. Consider perennials, such as heucheras and primroses as unconventional housemates. Discover how to bust houseplants out of their plastic past and into a swank future. Don’t be discouraged if you’ve tried and failed with houseplants. Make your windowsill into a success story without quitting your day job. You and your kangaroo paws are going to live happily ever after.

These courses are also open to the public. Sign-up sheets will be available after every session to confirm your interest in CEUs.
