Garden Workshop: Perennial Plant Care (with plants to take home!)

This workshop will take place in the Piet Oudolf-designed perennial gardens throughout The Battery, with topics covering plant division, cutback, soil replenishment, W**d control, and other basic care. After a hands-on plant division activity, participants will be invited to take the plants they divide home with them.

RSVP is free but required. Workshop is designed for adults; children ages 13 and up are welcome to participate with an adult chaperone.
