Seminars
Our seminars and hands-on workshops are presented by experts who offer great advice and share personal experience. They'll give you step-by-step instructions for projects that you can take home and do yourself.
We rely on our staff as well as product representatives and colleagues with expertise in lawn care, pest management, landscape design, stonework, horticulture, garden décor, and more.
Unless indicated otherwise, seminars are free and take place at the Hopkinton Garden Center. Be sure to check the seminar descriptions for special offers.
