Before you come.
What should I bring?
Closed shoes, a hat, water and gloves. We supply tools, seed and plants used in the session. The confirmation email lists anything specific to that workshop.
What if it rains?
Light rain, we garden. Lightning or a downpour, we move to the next open date and email you the night before.
Can I get a refund?
Yes, up to 72 hours before the workshop. After that we transfer your seat to a future date.
Are kids welcome?
Kids 10 and up are welcome with an adult and need their own seat. The meadow and monarch sessions are the most kid-friendly.
Want us to do it for you?
Book a site walk and we will design and plant it.
