Every native garden speaks in seasons, and most of us never learn the language. That patch you want to tidy in October might be next spring's nectar source. Those "messy" seed heads holding on through January might be feeding the very birds you planted for. Join horticulturist Adam Bigelow for a season by season walk through what your garden is actually telling you: when to cut back, when to wait, when to let the leaf litter lie. Come learn to read the signals and garden with the seasons, not against them.

This class is for anyone who has been curious about backyard beekeeping and will help answer questions about the time, effort and costs associated with it.
You’ll learn how a queen differs from a worker, why the drones get shown the door every fall, and how an egg becomes a foraging bee in about three weeks. You’ll discover honeybee biology and the life cycle, from egg to adult, the equipment you need to start, and what a first year beehive realistically costs. No experience needed!
