Garden to Glass
Everything we drink comes from a plant! Garden to Glass classes are taught by rotating experts and include two drinks attendees make themselves, a short explanation of how the featured drink is made and its history, and a goodie bag featuring a Powell Gardens branded glass, ingredients for a future drink, or other fun items. Look for Garden to Glass classes once or twice a month.

Horticulture Happy Hour
In these laid back hourlong classes, attendees will see a horticulture demonstration or presentation, then enjoy a tour of Powell Gardens’ garden spaces as related to the subject matter. Attendees are served beer and wine and may receive a take home item like a bulb, cutting, or tool. Horticulture Happy Hours will be held on the second Saturday of the month, when the Gardens are open extended evening hours.
