We have many seasonally appropriate classes to choose from. All classes (except Special Forces) are held at Rosemound Farm in Hillsboro from 9am to 1pm. Each class begins with 45 minutes of gardening basics followed by hands-on field labs, a tour of Jenna’s garden to illustrate concepts covered in class and a take-home project/planter.
We are also happy to work by appointment. We encourage groups of 4-8. We can come to you, or you to us. Tuesday-Thursday in the Bay area or Friday-Monday in the POrtland area.

After a review of gardening basics, the elements of good garden design are discussed.
This spring class is just in time for planning and planting.

Put your garden to bed for the winter the right way, so springtime is a breeze and your plants will be happy, healthy and stronger after their long winter’s rest. We demonstrate shortcuts to get your work done faster, and smarter, with less physical effort.
This season is perfect to propagate specific perennials, by division and cuttings, and transplant woody plants (did you know the roots of woodies typically grow rapidly in winter, and not much at all in summer?). By using age old methods, the smart and sustainable way, you can grow stronger plants that will be more drought, disease and pest resistant. Plus you’ll feel so much better looking at a clean garden now, and one that emerges beautifully in spring. Come join us, and take home many shared plants from Jenna and Lynn’s gardens for FREE!
