Free Seminars

2012

No registration is required.

Most seminars last about 60 minutes.

Classes are held indoors in our cooler seasons, and occasionally outdoors on beautiful days.  Seating is provided, although there are times that we host a full house and seats are hard to find.

Our free gardening seminars have been attended by thousands of gardeners over the years.  It is our desire to help you to succeed in your garden, and to share the wonders of gardening with everyone.  Please join us.
