Greenhouse Classes
Join us in “The Greenhouse” and garden for a series of hands-on classes that will inspire your creativity and expand your knowledge of growing! Whether you're a seasoned enthusiast or a beginner, there's an event tailored just for you!
Weather-Related Refund Policy
Greenhouse classes run rain or shine thanks to our fully protected indoor space. Your registration reserves a limited seat, and materials are prepared in advance for each participant. Many of our greenhouse classes include outdoor activities, and we strive to create a safe and comfortable learning environment for gardeners who are already accustomed to changing outdoor conditions. Classes will continue as scheduled in light rain, cold, heat, or other typical seasonal weather.
Refunds are only issued if the class is canceled by the instructor. If you choose not to attend due to weather or travel concerns, the registration fee is non-refundable. However, your registration fee can be transferred to another class with the same pricing. Please contact Brie directly to make those arrangements. Brie@BrieGrows.com
In the rare case that severe weather creates unsafe conditions and I must cancel, you will receive a full refund or the option to join a rescheduled session. Thank you for understanding and helping keep our small-class programming sustainable!
