How To Festival: How to keep houseplants alive - and thriving

About this event

Adult, Senior, Teen. Do you want to turn that black thumb into a green thumb? Join Melissa Woodard of Greenland Garden Centre to learn how to set yourself up for success with houseplants. Learn tips and tricks for growing tropical indoors, choosing the right plants, and how to avoid some common mistakes beginners make. Melissa Woodard's passion for plants began when she worked as a vegetable farmer in the summer during her undergraduate degree from MacEwan. After 6 years of farming, she was hired at Greenland Garden Centre, and her passions and interests in plants were nurtured and continued to grow. Now as the person who orders tropicals and houseplants, she is always excited to find new and intriguing things, and is ready to talk your ear off about anything plant related! She has enjoyed teaching classes over the last few years covering many topics to different demographics of people, and when she's not working at Greenland or a Farmer's Market, she's at home with her partner, their cat Ember, and over 100 houseplants.
