Responsible Gardening in a Changing Climate with Emmy-Award winning professor Bryce Lane
2026-12-07 18:30 - 20:30 | JC Raulston Arboretum, 4415 Beryl Rd., Raleigh, NC, 27606, United States
For generations, gardeners have relied on familiar rhythms and dependable rules of thumb. But as temperatures shift, weather patterns become less predictable, and pests and plant stresses change, many gardeners are finding themselves unsure of what practices still work—and what needs to change.
In this 6-week course, you’ll learn practical strategies for gardening responsibly and resiliently in the face of a changing climate. Together, we’ll explore how climate change is affecting home landscapes and gardens, from rising temperatures and shifting hardiness zones to changing rainfall patterns, longer growing seasons, and increasing pest pressures.
Advanced registration required.

The Art and Science of Plant Care
2026-12-07 18:30 - 20:30 | JC Raulston Arboretum, 4415 Beryl Rd., Raleigh, NC, 27606, United States
Caring for plants is both an art and a science—part intuition, part know-how. Every gardener, from beginner to expert, faces the same essential questions: When should I prune? How much should I water? What’s the best way to plant, fertilize, or repot? In this class, Bryce Lane brings decades of horticultural expertise to demystify these everyday tasks, showing you not just what to do, but why it works.
Over eight weeks, you’ll explore the fundamental practices that keep gardens thriving, learning how to perform each one with confidence and purpose. You’ll uncover the science behind good technique—understanding how soil, water, nutrients, and plant biology interact—while also developing the practical judgment that comes only with experience.
Each session focuses on one key aspect of plant care, building a complete toolkit for growing healthier, more resilient plants in any garden setting.
