About the Instructors Dale and John are co-creators of Swiftbrook Gardens which serve both as a classroom and as a display for Gardener by Nature LLC. Relying on firsthand gardening experiences, as well as their expertise and training, together they create workshops that are informative, fun, and practical.
Scheduled workshops are publicized at this website, in Triangle Gardener, in the Saturday News and Observer, and at triangle.com.
Gardener by Nature's classes As part of our mission to "get you gardening," we offer a Workshop Series designed for novice gardeners and those new to the Triangle. Topics include soil preparation, proper planting, basic maintenance and more. At least one class each session is devoted to plants native to the Triangle. Although the classes are targeted for beginners, interested gardeners of all experience levels are welcome.
Special presentations of these topics can be conducted for garden clubs or other groups. Customized individual instruction is also available.
Workshops are conducted in Swiftbrook Gardens near Lake Wheeler and include hands-on activities. Participants should dress in comfortable attire that is appropriate for outdoor activities.
