JOIN THE CLUB

“While a blank canvas can be exciting with its many opportunities - if you’re anything like me, limitless options can be overwhelming. While still inspiring lots of room to dream, Callandra provides hands-on, practical gardening tips and tools in a beautifully presented and thoughtful way. Each class has been a joy to attend - I can’t wait to get my hands dirty this spring!”

Questions?

 

  • The focus of the Backyard Harvest Garden club will be on gardening in cold climate prairie regions. If you live outside of the prairies, or cannot attend in-person classes, there will still be loads of content for you. Please reach out if you have more questions.

  • The Learn to Grow Series classes will run on Thursdays or Saturdays. Most classes will start at 7pm MST/MDT or 9am MST/MDT. The design series will run for 3 weeks in February, and again in April if there is demand. If you miss a class, you will always have access to the recordings.

  • Please reach out! The class schedule is tentative at this time, and if there is interest in different topics, we can certainly investigate a class on that topic.

  • Yes! There will be a Q&A during each class. If you need more dedicated time, our virtual and in-person consultations will be offered at a discount.

  • I had a Facebook group last year for our class, and it wasn’t used very often. If enough members show interest in a group, I am happy to start one.
