How to Start Your Garden
While much is beyond our control, we maintain the power to affect the lives of the beings around us. Growing a garden is an act of care—an offering of intention and love to the soil, plants, fungi, and creatures that you share space with. If you feel the urge to give back to the ecosystems around you, you can do so by creating a garden that is rooted in mutual resilience and cooperative abundance.
In this workshop, you'll receive guidance from an experienced garden instructor and connect with others as you learn how to assess your yard or porch setup, choose the right plants and materials, plan for planting, and take the first steps toward cultivating a thriving garden.
The Power of Propagation
You have the power - the power to propagate! There’s something truly magical about turning one plant into many, watching new roots form, and seeing fresh leaves unfurl.
While some plants are quick to multiply, others need a little more coaxing. Many common houseplants and garden favorites can be propagated through cuttings, suckers, plantlets, or root division, but the key is knowing which method works best for each plant.
In this hands-on workshop, we’ll dive into the fascinating world of plant propagation and explore the techniques needed to successfully grow new plants from existing ones. Together, we’ll work with a few different plant varieties - including a succulent, a grassy plant, and an herb (which ones? You’ll have to join us to find out!).
We’ll cover the essential steps for success, troubleshoot common mistakes, and even discuss those stubborn plants that simply refuse to root. Whether you’re a beginner or a seasoned plant parent, bring your curiosity and your questions - we’ll get growing together! What better way to ring in the season for this summer solstice?
This is a no-cost workshop with a suggested donation of $20. Walk-ins are welcome, but those who RSVP will receive exclusive takeaways!
Composting 101
Composting is a magical process—yard waste, food scraps, and cardboard break down into nutrient-rich soil with the help of microbes and other tiny soil dwellers. If you've been curious about composting or have struggled to get it right, this workshop is your chance to dive deeper with a certified composting instructor.
Together, we'll explore various composting methods for both indoor and outdoor spaces, walk through the necessary steps and materials, and troubleshoot common challenges. There’s no better time to reduce food waste, enrich the soil, and support local ecosystems.
With spring in full swing and a season of growth ahead, join Elsa for this informative workshop and learn how to intentionally transform organic matter into nourishment for the land around you.
Seed Starting Workshop
Embrace the spirit of spring by working with seeds—tiny bundles of potential that inspire hope for the seasons ahead. While starting seeds indoors and transplanting them outdoors can be challenging, it doesn’t have to feel daunting.
Gain confidence by learning how to plant, nurture, and transplant seedlings into spaces that can grow food and forage for you, your family, and the wildlife you share space with. In this workshop, we’ll explore the fundamentals of seed germination, practice planting seeds, discover what seedlings need to thrive, and determine how to adapt your specific home or setup for the best results.
Now that spring has arrived, join Elsa to learn how to start growing your garden, and set the stage for a transformative season for both you and your garden.
