Free classes, Saturday, November 21

Learn it where we grow it

Both November classes run during our last open day of the year, Saturday, November 21, 9am to 2pm. Come for a class and stay to shop the greenhouses.

Every so often we open the gate and teach what we do here every day: sowing native seed, taking cuttings, and the slow, patient work that turns either one into a plant worth giving garden room to. Classes are small and hands-on, held at the nursery in Aiken, and each person reserves their own seat.

Groups and tours

Bring your group

Garden clubs, school classes, plant societies and Master Gardener groups are welcome by arrangement. We walk the rows and the propagation house with you and talk about whatever your group is most curious about.

Tell us a little about your group and the dates that suit, and we will write back to plan the visit.
