Plant Science Basics Series: Part 3 - Watering - How, When, & Why

It's not 'dirt'... it's soil!

NHG proudly welcomes back teacher Iman Jones for a special hands-on series.

NEW! In this third, hands-on session, we’ll demystify what your plants really need when it comes to hydration. You’ll learn how water moves through soil and plants, how to spot signs of water stress, and how to confidently water without waste. Whether you're working with a few pots or a full backyard garden, you’ll leave with practical techniques to keep your plants thriving and your water use efficient.

What You'll Do:

• Participants will receive note taking guides to help them follow along and document their learning.
• Next, we'll move from presentation and discussion to hands-on macro and microscopic observation of the mechanisms plants use to regulate their water intake and output.
• We’ll end our time together with interactive Q&A so that every participant leaves with the knowledge that they need to garden Victoriously.

What to bring: A writing utensil and curiosity! All other supplies, including optional gloves, are provided.

You’ll be a mad scientist for the day and leave understanding what your plants need, and more importantly, why.

NOTE: This event is indoors in our comfortable Classroom, and is best for adults. Before the event, you are invited to drop by our Ralph & Rose Cafe next door for a coffee, tea, or treat before the event, and shop with us afterward.
