Seminars and Events

Seminars

You really don't have to have a green thumb to get out and do some gardening. It's fun, rewarding, and does not have to be hard work! 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 gardening projects that you can take home and do yourself, easily.

To bring you a range of seasonal topics, current information on best gardening practices, and inspiration, we tap into our own resource of knowledgeable and enthusiastic staff. We also bring in product representatives and other colleagues with expertise in lawn care, pest management, landscape design, stonework, horticulture, garden décor, and more. Seminars are free, unless noted otherwise.
