There still are dozens of classes to check out, online and in-person throughout February.
Throughout the Lancaster County region, there are hands-on classes that teach things like how to grow ranunculus and make a hypertufa planter. There also are virtual classes on topics like flower arranging plus virtual talks about growing vegetables in containers and repairing streams.
