Winter Houseplant Care Workshop 

Saturday, January 25

This event is FREE but registration is required to secure your space. 

Whether you’re a houseplant hoarder, proud plant parent or just using houseplants to enhance your indoor living space, you’ll want to join us for this informative houseplant get together.

Even though your houseplants may spend the entire year indoors, the care they require during the winter months is quite different than the rest of the year. Joy will explain why growing plants indoors at this time of year is a bit more challenging, discuss things that you should and shouldn’t be doing with your plants, and go over some of the more common houseplant problems to keep your eyes out for during the winter.

Growing Herbs & Vegetables Organically

Saturday, February 1
10:30AM-12:00PM

This event is FREE but registration is required to secure your space. 

Whether you’re already growing herbs and veggies organically, thinking about it or have tried it and things didn’t go as well as you expected, you’ll want to join us for this informative get together.

Sean will discuss what growing organically means, and share his thoughts and secrets regarding the best organic growing practices.

Poinsettia Picasso

Poinsettia Buy-Back Program

If you’re poinsettia is past its prime or you just don’t want it anymore, bring it to us anytime during the month of January and receive a $5 credit toward the purchase of a new houseplant.

Each returned poinsettia is worth a $5 credit toward the purchase of a houseplant. This is a one-for-one deal, meaning one returned poinsettia gives you $5 off one new houseplant. In other words, if you bring in, say, three poinsettias, you will get $5 credit for each of three houseplants, not $15 off one houseplant.

Each returned poinsettia can be in any-sized pot and it does not have to have been purchased from The Gardener’s Center!

Each returned poinsettia will be composted, and the pot will be recycled.
