Get to the root of healthy, thriving plants by focusing on what matters most—soil. During this FREE hands-on experience at 11 AM and 1 PM, we’ll break down the essentials for growing stronger, more vibrant plants in your garden. You’ll also learn what the pros use—and what sets different products apart.

We’ll also cover soil structure, drainage, and the role of organic matter in supporting strong plant growth. This class will be taught by an Organic Gardening Educator from Kellogg Garden Products—the makers of the G&B organic soils we proudly carry here at the nursery—bringing expert insight straight from the source.
