Events

A place to visit, becoming a place to gather.

People have always come here to wander. Now there's a cafe, and we're opening the space up — for classes, celebrations, and nights worth showing up for.

The idea

A garden is better with people in it.

We're building a calendar of things to do here — some we'll run ourselves, some with the makers, teachers, and neighbors we love. The plants stay. The reasons to come back keep growing.

Jungle Chic: Painting Tropical Plants in the Garden

a watercolor workshop with Living Pattern

Paint tropical plants surrounded by the real thing. In this hands-on outdoor workshop, Living Pattern sets up in the gardens at SmartyPlants and uses the palms, monsteras and lush foliage around you as living inspiration. You'll be guided step by step through mixing vibrant, natural-looking greens, translating real plant shapes to paper, laying out a balanced composition, and building leaves and fronds with loose, expressive brushstrokes. All levels welcome, from first-time painters to experienced artists. All supplies included.

Flow Yoga with Sound

with GRO Yoga

Join GRO Yoga for an evening of flow yoga with sound, right here at SmartyPlants Nursery. Slow down and reset in this restorative session of guided breathwork and live sound meditation. Elizabeth will begin by guiding you through simple breathing techniques to help you settle in and turn your attention inward. Then lie back, get comfortable, and let layers of sound and vibration wash over you. Leave feeling calmer, more grounded, and reconnected to yourself. No experience needed. Just come as you are.

Gong Fu Tea Tasting

Slow down and sip your way into the present moment. Join us in the garden for a Gong Fu tea tasting, where every pour, aroma and sip is an invitation to notice more and to enjoy it. Together with Leaf & Bloom Tea Co., we’ll taste three different high-quality teas and learn the art of Gong Fu, the traditional practice of brewing tea with care and intention. Watch the steam rise, breathe in the fragrance, and let the flavors unfold. It’s a gentle way to wake up your senses and feel a little more joy in the moment.
