Let's talk about why some houseplants thrive while others struggle.

Join plant enthusiast Adriana of Green Redemption Plants & Terrariums for an evening of hands-on learning about healthy houseplants. You'll discover what different plants need, learn how to spot common problems, ask questions about your own collection, and repot a plant to take home in a terracotta pot.

The Get Groovy With Green: Houseplant Basics workshop will give you practical skills you can use right away!
