Workshops and Demonstrations

Join fellow garden enthusiasts for a full or half day of learning by doing. Taught by experts, including Arboretum staff and other industry leaders, our workshops typically combine classroom instruction and hands-on practice.

Nature photography and wreath making are perennially popular topics. The ever-popular winter and early summer propagation workshops usually sell out.

In addition to these favorites, new workshops are regularly added to meet the needs of the community. Prices vary by event.
