Sue's 2023 Moss Basket Classes

Don't miss out on our most popular planting class! We grew over 200 moss baskets last year for our attendees. Classes are fun to do with friends, family, spouses, grand kids and others. Make it a girl's day or a date night! Bring your own beverages to enjoy while you plant!

In this class, create your own 16" moss hanging baskets. You pick the plants based on sun or shade with Sue and crew helping along the way as needed. The hanging baskets are left to grow in our greenhouses until Memorial Day, May 29th, unless you pick them up sooner. We can also plant your basket for you - more details are below.

In-person classes will be held in one hour time slots and limited to 12 people.

New this year: "Open Planting" time slots have been created for returning moss basket students that want to plant and do not need a demonstration. Students can come at any time during the designated time frame to make their baskets. HGV crew members will be on hand for minimal assistance. This is only open to people who have taken our moss basket class before and understand the process.

Register by calling our office at 715-365-2929.
