Upcoming Events

Join us on May 16 at 11am at our Independence Blvd. location for a hands-on veggie gardening experience made just for kids! Each participant will plant up three 4-inch veggie starters that are perfect for growing at home in a sunny spot, then they can get creative by painting their own rock markers to label each plant. It’s the perfect mix of planting and creativity, giving kids something they can care for, watch grow, and feel proud of.

Cost is $30 per participant, all supplies are included. Recommended for ages 3 and up. Parental supervision is required.

Join us on May 23rd at 11am at our Independence Blvd. location for a watercolor painting workshop set right in the garden center. Led by Carly Melvin, a Virginia Beach native and lifelong artist with a BFA in Illustration from Maryland Institute College of Art (MICA), this hands-on class focuses on capturing the beauty of the garden through watercolor and ink.

With Carly’s guidance, you’ll learn techniques to paint from real-life garden scenes, build confidence with watercolor, and develop your own artistic style in an inspiring outdoor setting. Perfect for both beginners and experienced artists, this workshop includes personalized instruction and plenty of creative freedom.

Cost: $35 (includes all supplies). Watercolor paper, paints, and brushes are provided (although, you are welcome to bring your own materials).
