Sold Out-THANK YOU!
Join us and learn how we grow great zinnias! Zinnias are a fun addition to your home cutting garden or patio! They’re know for being an “easy flower” but not much is easy about growing in Central Texas. But with some tips and tricks, you can grow great zinnias all summer long! In this workshop we’ll chat about seed starting, transplanting, pinching, fertilizing, disease and insect pressure, harvesting and vase care. I’ll share what the trendiest colors are, where to buy seeds, and what you could also include in your flower garden to pair with zinnias in a vase! This will be a fun, casual workshop in our flower field, so please wear sun protection and closed toed shoes. We’ll have a handout for you, but bring a notepad and pen! P.S. this class is intended for home gardeners (of all levels), not professional growers! 🙂
We’ve added the option to add-on a 6 pack of mixed zinnia transplant so you can practice what you’ve learned. Or, add on a mixed zinnia bouquet and try your hand at flower arranging at home! Or both!
