Grow Beautiful African Violets

Service Description

Have you ever bought a blooming African violet from a big box store only to have it stop blooming and die within a week or two? Do you have a large African violet that has now overgrown its pot and hasn't bloomed in a long while? Do you want to give these lovely bloomers another chance? This class is taught by a long-time grower and winner of many violet shows. It will teach you all the tricks to successfully grow African violets even in natural light. You will even get to plant a leaf or small plantlet and walk away with a "goody bag" for successful growing. There will be prizes as well! Fremont Building is at 14603 E.
