Usual challenges within our homes will be addressed (hello kittens & air vents!) and solutions will be discussed. We will examine the most commonly found houseplants as well as some exciting easy care rare plants. \nThere will be an in-depth presentation of various soils and additives\, along with a repotting chat and demonstration. Each participant will leave the class with a basic knowledge of houseplant care as well as specific solutions to become a confident houseplant keeper. \nCapacity is limited\, so reserve your spot today! \nAdditional Information: This class will take place in person at Huntsville Botanical Garden.

In addition to running her retail shop\, she presents workshops and lectures with a focus on houseplants. Cope launched five years ago with the purpose of community building and the desire to learn more about houseplants. Many plants have perished and thrived throughout this journey and Holly’s passion for houseplants has grown in wonderful ways. \nOne year ago Holly moved to Huntsville from the Nashville area with her husband and three children. The family also includes a chinchilla named Michael\, three dogs\, Amya the cat\, several praying mantises\, and a slew of tropical fish and miniature shrimp. In addition to collecting houseplants\, Holly enjoys crocheting Japanese Amigurumi stuffed animals\, and reading British design magazines. She is a nearly life long vegetarian and loves to shop for vintage housewares and furniture almost as much as she loves cake. \n\nAs a nonprofit organization\, the Garden thrives through your support. Every program and event you enjoy helps fuel our conservation work and mission-driven initiatives.
