Houseplants

10:00 AM - 12:00 PM

This workshop will help you learn the basics of houseplant care and how to solve problems. We’ll talk about the best houseplants for Nevada County’s arid climate (spoiler: maidenhair ferns are not on that list). We’ll discuss watering, fertilizing, re-potting, and diseases.

Bring your own plants to show off or troubleshoot!

Pollinator Week

It’s Pollinator Week! Did you know that pollinators like bees, butterflies, and bats, provide 1 out of 3 bites of food we eat?

Say thanks by planting native plants, supporting local farmers, and educating others about the importance of pollinators!

Check out Pollinator.Org for lots of pollination information.
