Take a Walk at Hyannis Country Garden with
C.L. Fornari...in person and on FB Live! A FREE Event!
We're happily gathering live at Hyannis Country Garden for 3 Friday walk-and-talk sessions with C.L. Fornari. Held outdoors, rain or shine, from 4 PM to 5 PM, C.L. will stroll through various departments talking about plants, products and problem-solving. We'll be on our feet so dress appropriately and use your phone for photos and a pad of paper for taking notes. Bring questions about your gardens and landscape, and C.L. will give you specific ideas and suggestions. These walk-and-talk sessions will be both in person - and on FB Live!
July 23, August 6, and August 27 at 4pm
Hyannis Country Garden hosts events that are designed to be both informative and entertaining. Our fans love our Friday Happy Hours, each starting at 5 PM and lasting for one hour. All Happy Hours are free of charge and you can participate in these either on Facebook Live or by clicking the individual link below and registering via Zoom. This summer we're adding some "Take a Walk at HCG with C.L. Fornari". These rain-or-shine events will be held outdoors, walking along as C.L. answers your questions in our garden and nursery area. Please scroll up for more detail.
We extended our educational offerings in 2021 to include in-depth classes on topics that we’ve seen are of interest to our customers. These Sunday Seminars run from 4 PM to 5:30, and the non-refundable cost to attend is $10.00. These one-and-a-half hour programs do a deeper dive into subjects of interest to Cape Cod gardeners. Advance payment and registration will be required, and all who are signed up will receive a pdf handout on the topic and a discount coupon to use on select items in the store. For more information see our schedules posted and click through for more information about our virtual events.
There will be other virtual and in-person events from time to time - please check back often as we update this page regularly. Links to some recorded events are posted further down this page.
Flower Garden Fix-Ups
Sunday Seminar - August 22, 2021 4pm
Late-summer is a good time to assess annual and perennial gardens. This talk is about timely ways to spruce up flower gardens so that they will make you happy into the fall and winter. Learn about perennial garden maintenance, how to fill “holes” or add color late in the season, and how to plan now for next year.
This webinar is part of Hyannis Country Garden's Sunday Seminar Series. These one-and-a-half hour programs do a deeper dive into subjects of interest to Cape Cod gardeners. Those registered will get the link for attendance, a pdf handout and a coupon for a discount on selected items in the store. Registration for all events is $10.00 and is non-refundable.
Please Note: Informational webinars are not recorded...like our in-store educational programs, they are 'you have to be there' events. There are no refunds for those who don't attend, but all paid registrants will receive the handout and coupon.
