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.
