Spring 2026 Schedule
Classes are offered in the Spring and Fall by chapters around the state. They are consistent across the state but customized for characteristics and plants of the region in which they are taught. Most classes are in person and take place on 1 day. Some are offered 100% via zoom. Hybrid classes involve Zoom presentations and in person plant walks, often on the next day. Both are required to complete the class.
The Fall Schedule will be posted by the last week in July. Registration will begin on August 3rd. See the bullet points below the schedule table for more information.
- Classes are posted by February 1st (spring/summer) and August 1st (fall/winter) when registration OPENS on those dates or the next weekday.
- There will not be a registration button until registration OPENS. Until then, it will say, Registration is Closed. This does not mean the class is full.
- Most classes are held in person in the spring & fall when the flowers are in bloom and the temperatures are tolerable.
- All on-line classes are via Zoom unless noted. Please install the Zoom app and make sure you know how to use it before the appointed meeting time. Hybrid classes involve an online presentation and in-person plant walks and exercises depending on the class.
- Some in person classes are also available to attend via zoom. You must register for the correct version of the class you wish to attend.
- Classes are live on the scheduled date. Recordings are not available on-demand.
