2008 Schedule of Classes

Saturday, June 7, 2008 10 am - 4 pm
Propagation Workshop
(Tony Avent, PDN Staff)

$150 THIS CLASS IS FULL
call to be added to wait list

Our interactive propagation workshop has also become one of our guaranteed sellout classes each year. The day-long hands-on workshop will cover an amazing array of topics including seed, cuttings, divisions, plant breeding, and darn near everything but grafting. The focus of the workshop is perennials, but the techniques can be adapted to most plants you grow. By the time you are finished, you'll leave here with lots of goodies, and be feeling ready to start your own nursery. The class is held in our non-air conditioned shipping shed, so it may be quite hot during the class...dress accordingly. (Lunch on your own.)

Saturday, October 11, 2008 10 am - noon
Let's Talk Plants Garden Walk
(Tony Avent, PDN Staff)

October is a transitional month in the garden, as the plants of summer begin to fade, and the stars of the autumn garden begin to shine. Join Tony for this two hour class...an interactive outdoor walk through our extensive botanical gardens, discussing the plants in the garden, and how and why they grow. Come prepared to write as we send you on plant overload.

Saturday, November 8, 2008 10 am - noon
The World of Soils
(Tony Avent, PDN Staff)

With the increasing interest in soil care as a means of avoiding plant stress and subsequent pest problems, the demand for this class has risen each season. The interactive lecture will discuss nutrient balance, soil test reports, how to incorporate organics, taking care of microbes, and an array of misconceptions regarding planting techniques. If you have soil test reports, be sure and bring them to class.
