Year Round Houseplant Care Workshop

Saturday January 24th from 2-4 pm at St. Luke's United Church. Pre-register after reading the description!

 

Last year's workshop was a great success and we were encouraged by attendees to reoffer in 2026.  The workshop will be given by Penny Irving, an indoor plant parent and enthusiast who has had a lifetime of experience caring for and propagating indoor plants. 

Discover secrets to growing beautiful, healthy indoor plants year round. Learn about common pests and how to manage them, proper watering techniques, assess natural light and humidity levels, and how to easily propagate plants from cuttings. Bring a houseplant that needs repotting and we will show you the 'do's and don'ts' of repotting your houseplants.

 

What to Bring:

1. A house plant that needs repotting

2. A pot that is 2 to 4 inches larger in diameter. The pot must have drainage holes. 

3. Gloves and pruning scissors 

4. We will provide fresh regular potting soil and a variety of reusable plastic garden pots for those who need one.

5. If you are repotting a succulent, cacti or orchid, please bring your own appropriate potting soil.

 

Pre-register Space is limited to 20 people.

IMPORTANT  How to transport your plant in winter
Place your plant in a plastic bag to catch any water or soil that may spill.
then place it in a strong paper bag or box for transport. Wrapping newspaper around your plant will add extra protection from the cold and protect stems and leaves from physical damage. Come straight to the workshop from home with your plant.
