About the event
Join us Thursday evenings at Gilbertie’s for a weekly gathering of garden lovers, plant enthusiasts, and curious minds. Each week features a special guest speaker or hands-on demo covering everything from herbs and pollinators to perennial garden design, microgreens, and seasonal planting tips.
Whether you’re a seasoned gardener or just getting your hands dirty, there’s something new to learn, sip, and savor. Light refreshments will be served, and our garden shop will be open late for relaxed after-hours shopping.
Bring your questions, your notebook, and your love of all things green—see you Thursday!
