Taking care of yourself and your plants as we move into winter

Has your houseplant collection expanded over the summer months? If you’re looking at a living room full of plants and wondering, “Now what?!” this program is for you. 

Enjoy the benefits of indoor plants such as cleaner air, connection with nature, and a mood boost by keeping those plants alive and thriving. Jennifer Nelson from Grounded and Growing will teach you how to set your plants up to thrive indoors, with advice on placement, watering, lighting, and pest management. 

This workshop is for plant beginners and veterans alike. Bring all your houseplant questions and concerns–pictures and actual plants are welcome! No question is too big or too small. 

If you need MORE plants indoors, Plantify will be on-site selling a selection of houseplants. 

This program is conducted in-person at Soul Care with a capacity of 12 people to accommodate social distancing. Masks are required for all attendees.
