Get Green with Michael
Our resident horticulturist, Michael Clark, presents a series called "Get Green with Michael" which covers all aspects of gardening, including landscape design, orchid care, plant selection, water conservation, and indoor plant care. Native grasses and wildflowers, tree care, outdoor and indoor cacti, dried flower arranging, repotting, fall planting, pruning, and Feng Shui are also topics addressed by Michael, often with the help of guest speakers. We affectionately refer to the above as TOPICS of Capricorn.

Local artists with work on exhibit at the store often give art talks on their inspiration and techniques.
