September 7: 10:00-11:30 Houseplant Care and Re-potting
Houseplants are hot!!! And so incredibly critical to a healthy indoor living environment for the winter. We’ll go over how to safely bring all kinds of plants inside and either store or grow them for the winter, and we’ll go over how to effectively pot on a favorite houseplant. Bring one (1) houseplant that you want to work on, and we’ll go over each plant individually.
$15.00/person plus the cost of potting mix and any pot needed for the repotting.

September 21: 10:00-11:30 Looking at Trees of all kinds
There is so much more to trees than the standard Bradford pears, crab apples, red maples etc.! There’s nothing wrong with those trees, but how about an edible forest? Or a pollinator/insect support forest edge plan? Or how about introducing hardwood seedstock trees to damaged woodlots? Join us as we look at all things trees.
$15.00/person.

September 28: 10:00-11:30 International Rabbit Day
Join us as we celebrate the joy of working with house rabbits. Rabbits can be house trained, develop strong personalities and tastes, and can become valuable members of the family. However, there are some critical basics that everyone who wants to own a rabbit as a pet needs to have under their belt. The House Rabbit Rescue Network will go over the basics and answer any questions that you have.
$15.00/person.

October 5: 10:00-11:30 Fall Mineral Mixing
If you have a yard or garden then you probably know that gardens don’t always perform the way they’re supposed to. Most soils are damaged and are non-functional or intermittently functional. Poor nutrient cycling is inherent in how these damaged soils operate, but fall is THE time to fix this! Join us for a mineral mixing day at the store on we walk everyone through how to mix different minerals together to wake up and strengthen soil systems.
$15.00/person plus the cost of the minerals you take with you.
