At Churchill’s Garden Center, we host a variety of engaging events designed for garden lovers of all ages. From informative talks and creative workshops to hands-on experiences like DIY container gardens, terrariums, and seasonal centerpieces, our skilled designers guide you step-by-step as you craft your own one-of-a-kind creations and share expert care tips to help them thrive at home.
For our younger gardeners, we offer fun, kid-friendly events such as terrarium making and gingerbread cookie decorating. These activities aren’t just entertaining; they nurture curiosity, teach the basics of plant care, and inspire a lifelong love of nature.
We also offer private classes for groups of 6–12 participants, perfect for team outings, friend get-togethers, birthday celebrations, family activities, clubs and community groups, and anyone looking for a personalized, hands-on creative experience.
Private classes can be scheduled on weekdays, weekends, or even after hours, whatever works best for your group. Simply reach out and we’ll help you plan the perfect creative gathering!
Join us for an upcoming event and discover the joy of gardening, creating, and connecting at Churchill’s.
Shell Decoupage Class
Friday, August 14th @ 2pm
Bring a touch of the coast home with our Sea Shell Decoupage Class! Join us at the end of August for a relaxing, creative workshop where you’ll transform natural seashells into beautiful decorative pieces using a stunning selection of decorative napkins and decoupage techniques.
Whether you display them in your home, use them as trinket dishes, or give them as thoughtful gifts, each shell will be a one-of-a-kind creation that captures the beauty of the ocean.
This stress-free, hands-on class is the perfect opportunity to unwind, get creative, and enjoy a little seaside inspiration. You’ll leave feeling relaxed, refreshed, and with four beautifully finished shells to take home.
No experience is necessary, and all materials are included. We provide everything you need to create four unique decoupage shells.
We can’t wait to create with you!
Free Talk: Learn from a Certified Arborist
Saturday, August 15th • 11am-12pm
Understanding Plant Stress & Weather Damage
You Asked, We’ve Listened – Plant Problems Explained This season has brought an abundance of customer questions, and you’re not alone in wondering what’s happening to your landscape. From browning evergreens and scorched leaves to struggling shrubs and an increase in fungal diseases, gardeners everywhere are seeing the effects of an unusual year.
Join us and a Certified Arborist from Port City Tree Care as we tackle the questions we’ve been hearing most often at the garden center. We’ll discuss how the long, windy winter, drought conditions, and early high heat have impacted trees, shrubs, and other landscape plants, along with the rise in fungal diseases and other stress-related issues.
Together we’ll cover:
- Why plants are showing signs of stress and damage
- How to tell the difference between environmental stress and disease
- Common fungal issues and what to watch for
- Prevention and treatment options
- What can be saved, what needs time, and when it’s best to intervene
After the discussion, we’ll take a walk through the garden center to look at real examples, identify symptoms, and answer your questions in a hands-on setting.
If you’ve been asking, “What’s wrong with my plant?” this class is for you. Come learn what we’re seeing, what it means, and what you can do to help your landscape recover.
