Event Description

Spring is an exciting time in the garden—but it’s also when well-intentioned cleanup can accidentally do more harm than good.
Spring Gardening – Landscape is a practical, education-first class designed to help gardeners prepare their landscapes for the growing season in a way that supports plants, pollinators, and long-term garden health.

This class focuses on the dos and don’ts of sustainable spring cleanup, with an emphasis on timing, observation, and working with nature instead of rushing ahead of it. We’ll talk through what actually needs to be cleaned up in spring—and what’s better left alone a little longer to protect beneficial insects, soil life, and emerging plants.

You’ll learn how to trim and cut back plants correctly, when to wait, and how to avoid common spring mistakes like removing overwintering habitat too early or accidentally pulling out your own plants while weeding. We’ll cover how to tell the difference between weeds and desirable plants as things begin to emerge—so you’re not undoing last year’s hard work.

This class also covers spring planting and seeding basics, including when it’s appropriate to start and how soil temperature and conditions matter more than the calendar. We’ll touch on irrigation and watering strategies, including when to turn systems on, how to water responsibly, and how to avoid overwatering early in the season.

Education comes first, with clear, calm guidance designed to reduce stress and guesswork. You’ll leave with a sustainable spring checklist and the confidence to prepare your landscape thoughtfully—setting your garden up for a healthier, more resilient season ahead.
