The queer botany series invites LGBTQIA+ folks and allies to explore the plant world through a queer lens and inspires to bring this knowledge into their own botanizing and gardening practices. We will learn some basic botany and explore our relationship with plants. The classes are interactive and designed for experienced gardeners and budding plant nerds alike. Want to find the queerest plant in your neighborhood? This is the class for you!
Sign up for a single class or take the whole series. The classes are mostly stationary and will involve some walking on uneven terrain. This series is offered in partnership with the Pride Center of Vermont. Registration required.
In July we will take a closer look at the fruit & veggie garden. Why do some plants grow fruits without being pollinated while others need a partner to bear fruit? Why does not every zucchini flower turn into a fruit, while all apple flowers have the ability to turn into an apple?
We strive to make garden education accessible to everyone. For information on scholarships and discounts, please contact [email protected].
