Whether you're picking up a trowel for the first time or deepening years of experience, our education programs offer something for every gardener. Throughout the year, we offer weekly class series and hands-on workshops designed to build confidence, expand knowledge and develop practical skills.

We also host three signature programs including Intro to Gardening in the South which offers a strong foundation for beginners and those new to gardening in the Southeast; the Winter Symposium each February; and the Southeastern Plant Symposium each June.

Programs are available in person, online and in hybrid formats. We maintain a growing library of educational videos, including recordings from our free, weekly online Midweek Program, held every Wednesday.
