When: June 15, 2024 @ 10:00 am
A very special class brought to you by Mainspring Conservation Trust, WNC Wild Ones, and Winding Stair Farm!
We are teaming up for Round 2 of one of our most popular events from last year!
Join us as we celebrate the importance of native plants in our ecosystems as well as the joy they bring to humans, mammals, birds and pollinators alike. Not just that… you will also be able to get your hands in the dirt and design your own native plant container garden!
If you’re new to native plants and want to dabble and learn more, a container garden is a great entry into the game. If you’re an experienced native plant gardener, perhaps you’ll discover a new favorite plant at this event or a friend in the like-minded native plant lovers that are plant-and-sipping alongside you. We’ve designed this class to be educational, fun, and creative.
Class fee includes 2 local non-alcoholic drinks, a brief talk about the importance of native plants, a container, soil, and yearling (young) native plants so you can create your take-home planter. With our guidance you’ll get to choose from a range of native plants to fit your preferences and to fit in your home landscape. You can choose up to 5 different plants for your creation.
You’ll also learn how each organization plays a role in protecting the diverse native plants that live here in western North Carolina.
Registration coming soon! Tickets are on a sliding scale, $20-$60 for Wild Ones members and $30-$70 for general admission tickets. Ticket funds are used to purchase materials, and the remaining value is divided between Mainspring Conservation Trust and Wild Ones as donations to these nonprofits.
