| Plant Society House at Denver Botanic Gardens |
Sign up for classes or workshops to get the brain energized and filled with the right stuff.
Denver and the Front Range is very fortunate in having many free or low cost outlets for garden classes and seminars.
Below is a list with links for ones that I know of right now. PLEASE check back often, there will be many more events added to this list.
The first group - seminars, workshops and conferences charge fees unless otherwise noted. Be sure to click on each title for more sign up information and deadlines, even the free events generally require signing up.
Public and botanic gardens charge fees for classes and workshops.
Garden center classes are often free so check their websites for more information.
This year consider attending or joining a plant society, group or club. You will meet other friendly people. Most meet monthly, have low cost dues and offer educational seminars, garden tours and trips, plant sales and judged shows through the year.
Check out what's offered in your community if you're not in Colorado.
