Plant Science Basics Series: Part 1 - Plant Life Cycles

Deepen your gardening understanding by exploring plants from the inside out in this new, in-depth 3-part series of classes for adults.
About this Event

What makes up a plant, exactly...?

NHG proudly welcomes back teacher Iman Jones for a special hands-on series.

NEW! This first session in the Victory Garden 101 Series for adults sets the stage for confident growing by teaching how plants live, grow, and feed us. You’ll explore the full life cycle of plants; what each stage looks like, what it means for your garden planning, and how to recognize it in real time. We’ll also break down the anatomy of a plant, identifying roots, stems, leaves, flowers, fruits, and seeds, and the edible roles they play in your meals. Expect a hands-on, visual learning experience designed for beginners who want to garden with more intention and understanding.

What You'll Do:

• Participants will receive a note-taking guide to help them follow along and document their learning.
• We'll move from presentation and discussion to hands-on Seed & Flower Dissections.
• We’ll end our time together with interactive, dynamic Q&A so that every participant leaves with the knowledge that they need to garden Victoriously.

What to bring: A writing utensil and curiosity! All other supplies are provided.

You’ll be a mad scientist for the day and leave understanding what your plants need, and more importantly, why.
