It's been a wonderful year visiting Scio, Albany and Tangent. Our 2026 schedule is coming soon.

We‘ll show gardening tips on all aspects of gardening from seed starting, growing and harvesting herbs for cooking and making tea, adaptive gardening to accommodate physical disabilities, water testing, how to plan a frost to frost pollinator support garden, seasonal gardening activities, how to create your own therapeutic garden and more. We typically have a variety of hard to find native plants or seeds.
