Garden Workshop: Perennial Plant Care (with plants to take home!)

This workshop will take place in the Piet Oudolf-designed perennial gardens throughout The Battery, with topics covering plant division, cutback, soil replenishment, W**d control, and other basic care. After a hands-on plant division activity, participants will be invited to take the plants they divide home with them.

RSVP is free but required. Workshop is designed for adults; children ages 13 and up are welcome to participate with an adult chaperone.

You should also bring a reusable bag or box with you for carrying home the plants you propagate. This program will occur light rain or shine; in the event of inclement weather, participants will be e-mailed in advance with notice of any changes.
