Shady Lane Greenhouse - Seminars

Prune, plant, create and learn!

Prune, plant, create and learn through this wonderful series of seminars taught by area professionals for every level of gardener. Classes are normally held weekends and Tuesday evenings at Shady Lane. Registration is required so we can plan accordingly. Many of our seminars are FREE in exchange for the donation of five canned goods or non-perishable food items, which we donate to the local food pantry. Some require a fee to cover the cost of materials.

We also enjoy bringing our seminars to you and your group, organization or gardening club. In addition to some of the topics listed below, we offer presentations on many other related topics. We can customize any seminar for the special interests of your organization. Call us, and we’ll be happy to discuss possible presentation topics and dates.

To register for any upcoming seminars, call 262-251-1660.
