As the days begin to lengthen and our thoughts turn toward spring, our beloved and sometimes bedraggled houseplants also yearn for more light and warmth. The pressures of being inside can take a toll on even the most robust plants. In this workshop, led by Jenna O'Brien, you’ll learn the basics of good house plant health care, from identifying pests and problems to the preventive steps you can take to ensure your prized plants make it through the winter healthy and happy! Students are invited to bring along a house plant they have questions about or one to which they’d like to give some extra TLC. Consider this a spa day for your houseplants! 

Jenna O'Brien, owner and founder of Viridissima Horticulture & Design since 2003, has been working in Berkshire gardens for over 20 years. She specializes in container gardening, perennial garden design and care and estate garden and conservatory management.
