About Growing Together: Creating a Garden Through Thoughtful Planning

Learn how thoughtful planning is the foundation of a thriving garden. This lecture covers the essential steps to designing a productive and beautiful growing space, including site selection, soil preparation, garden layout, seasonal planning, companion planting, and choosing the right plants for your climate and goals. Whether you’re starting your first garden or refining an established one, you’ll leave with practical strategies and a clear plan for creating a healthy, abundant garden.

Growing Together is a hands-on gardening series created in collaboration with Arianna Iappini of Birch Arbor Gardens. Designed for gardeners of all experience levels, this series invites participants to learn, connect, and cultivate alongside one another through the seasons. Each session blends practical instruction with thoughtful conversation, exploring sustainable gardening practices, seasonal rhythms, and the deeper relationships between plants, place, and people. Rooted in community and shared knowledge, Growing Together offers a welcoming space to grow skills, confidence, and connection in the historic gardens.
