A three-part, hands-on journey into the art and spirit of growing cannabis—where learning unfolds through tending, sharing, and rooting into the rhythms of the land.
This will be a grow clinic where we'll discuss bringing our plants successfully into the flowering stage, including plant nutrients and how to troubleshoot problems during the grow process. Bring your questions about your own garden and get expert answers.
Each gathering offers:
🌿 Practical, hands-on growing guidance
🌿 Space to ask questions and learn in community
🌿 Special guests—local growers sharing lived wisdom
🌿 A chance to deepen your relationship with the plant and the seasons
🌾 Grow & Commune:
More than a class—this is a shared tending. Seeds of knowledge passed hand to hand, as we learn to nurture what wishes to grow.
🚜 Optional Field Trip:
Before each session, those who feel called are warmly invited to meet us over at the nearby Woodstock Farmers Market—strolling, connecting, and drawing inspiration from the vibrant community. It’s a chance to support local growers and artisans, and to share a nourishing meal from the delicious offerings prepared by local vendors.
