SUMMARY:The Art and Science of Plant Care
DESCRIPTION:Caring for plants is both an art and a science — part intuition\, part know-how. Every gardener\, from beginner to expert\, faces the same essential questions: When should I prune? How much should I water? What’s the best way to plant\, fertilize or repot? In this class\, Bryce Lane will bring decades of horticultural expertise to demystify these everyday tasks\, showing you not just what to do but why it works. \nOver eight weeks\, you’ll explore the fundamental practices that keep gardens thriving\, learning how to perform each one with confidence and purpose. You’ll uncover the science behind good technique — understanding how soil\, water\, nutrients and plant biology interact — while also developing the practical judgment that comes only with experience.\nEach session will focus on one key aspect of plant care\, building a complete toolkit for growing healthier\, more resilient plants in any garden setting.
