Do you often find yourself online trying to figure out how to make your plants thrive? Do you envy your neighbor’s green thumb? Have you always wanted a home garden, but don’t know where to start? Our Gardening 101 series is for you! Each month, we present a beginner’s class covering key things you need to know — from location and placement to plant selection and harvesting, and everything in between – to start keeping and caring for your own garden at home.

In the latest installment of Gardening 101, our horticulture team will teach participants all about fantastically adapted carnivorous plants.

Non-member fee of $15 includes general admission to the Garden. Garden members can attend at no charge, per the general admission benefits of their membership level.

Houston Botanic Garden offers free parking for daytime events, which are held rain or shine.
