Did you know gardeners all over California and across the U.S. are already growing Cannabis at home? Whether you call it hemp or marijuana, enjoy THC and/or CBD, it is easy to grow in your backyard. Join experts Emily Gogol and Penny Barthel to learn how easy it is to grow this versatile plant.

The workshop will cover the how and why of your starting material (clones, seeds, plants) and provide step by step instructions for growing outdoors on a patio or in the backyard (think tomatoes, but easier). Emily and Penny are here to answer your questions with sound advice based on years of gardening experience and will bring a variety of “show and tell” items to demonstrate how to successfully grow at home. Cannabis seeds will be available for purchase, and you can also get a signed copy of Penny’s book, The Cannabis Gardener (Penguin Random House, 2021).

You can pre-purchase your book and seeds NOW to get ready for the workhop!
