Our Garden Labs offer an opportunity for us to strengthen families by sharing information about sustainable gardening and lifestyle practices. Our Labs are FREE of charge and are for ALL ages. With the help of local professionals, Garden Labs are hosted right at our Staunton Garden and include a variety of fun, hands-on workshops! All participants can expect to take home something from the lab to apply to their home gardens/lifestyles! Our third season of Labs begins March 2024!
