Houseplants looking a little tired? Lasdon’s gardeners will help rejuvenate your houseplants. Simply show up and together we will check the soil, remove dead and damaged leaves, repot it in good potting soil and talk about what your plant needs. You’ll also learn some great tips about keeping your houseplant happy and healthy.
Does your garden look a little bare after the summer? Join our farmers to learn when, where, and how to grow crops that can be harvested into the fall! In this class, we will review the planning, spacing, timing, and care of fall’s most prolific fruits and vegetables. Participants will leave with a selection of fall crops to take home and plant in their own gardens.

Join us for our April Community Farm Work Day at Hilltop Hanover Farm! This month, volunteers will work alongside our farmers to plant our potato crop—a classic spring task that helps set the stage for the season ahead.
Volunteers will help place seed potatoes and assist with planting tasks in the field. Participants should be comfortable working outdoors and able to bend at the waist and kneel on uneven terrain.
Registration is required. To sign up, you’ll need to create a free Bloomerang Volunteer account (our volunteer scheduling system) so you can register for the shift and receive event updates and details.
The Academy is a volunteer project open to all 9th District Garden Club members. The projects will occur once a month on Wednesdays. Sessions will be two hours long with instruction and hands-on time to use your new skill!
