The Columbus Garden School offers private / custom classes for your group of friends, colleagues, or employees! Perhaps you’re interested in a topic we offer -- but the class time isn’t convenient, or we don’t have enough seats to accommodate your group. Maybe you want to carve out some fun, low-stress time with family and friends. Many of our classes are ideal for team-building projects. Learn a new skill or make something unique while having fun – at an affordable cost!

Classes can be held at CGS, at your site, or via Zoom, depending on the topic and instructor. Some examples include:

• Craft classes ranging from dyeing textiles, soap-making, jewelry, and papercrafts.

• Gardening workshop topics from container planting to native plants, edible gardening, food preservation, pollinator gardening, pruning, organic gardening basics, and more.

• Introduction to herbalism, DIY herbal care kits, and creating unique herbal tea blends.

• Construction workshops that introduce basic carpentry, electrical, plumbing and tiling skills and concepts. Projects such as building bird or bat houses are also available.

• Beekeeping workshops explore our hives at CGS. Protective gear is provided while your group opens hives and discovers the collaborative world of honey bees.

PLUS we offer PowerPoint presentations on a WIDE RANGE of gardening, beekeeping, homesteading, and sustainability topics.
