Instructor: Cami Farmer  

Do you love your plants but have trouble knowing what makes them happy? Plant expert Cami Farmer will help you understand what your house plants need to thrive! Learn how to choose the best plants for your home and how to pot them correctly so they have space to grow. She will show you how to take cuttings for propagation and how to get rid of pesky pests. This class will also include creative potted houseplant arrangement ideas to help you style your plants beautifully in your indoor space. 

When she isn’t playing with plants at Farmer’s Daughter Nursery, Cami enjoys finding something new to learn every day. She holds a master's degree in agriculture economics from the University of Arkansas. Cami is a firm believer that money can’t buy happiness, but it can buy plants, and that’s pretty much the same!
