Intro to Small Scale Companion Planting

In this class, you’ll explore the world of small-scale companion planting using native plants. Participants will learn how to maximize small spaces through strategic interplanting based on shared growing requirements, while also discovering how companion plants can support plant health, deter pests, attract pollinators, and provide natural ground cover to help suppress weeds.

All materials will be provided, and participants will enjoy hands-on planting activities during the class.
