Caring for plants is both an art and a science—part intuition, part know-how. Every gardener, from beginner to expert, faces the same essential questions: When should I prune? How much should I water? What’s the best way to plant, fertilize, or repot? In this class, Bryce Lane brings decades of horticultural expertise to demystify these everyday tasks, showing you not just what to do, but why it works. Over eight weeks, you’ll explore the fundamental practices that keep gardens thriving, learning how to perform each one with confidence and purpose. You’ll uncover the science behind good technique—understanding how soil, water, nutrients, and plant biology interact—while also developing the practical judgment that comes only with experience. Each session focuses on one key aspect of plant care, building a complete toolkit for growing healthier, more resilient plants in any garden setting. In-Person + Zoom Recordings Provided
