Homegrown Cannabis

With the passage of Issue 2 in November of 2023, home gardeners can now try their hand at growing Cannabis sp. Since this crop can require a significant investment on the part of the grower, it’s important to learn best practices before starting out.

This course will cover the botany of Cannabis sp., the process of how to successfully grow it either indoors or outside and tips from our expert instructors. You’ll walk away with a list of supplies, an understanding of next steps to take should you choose to embark on a new adventure and grow Cannabis sp. at home, and the tools to tackle the final tasks of production as your crop reaches maturity. The class will include time for questions.

Please note: Some of the legalities of growing this crop have not been finalized and it is the responsibility of each participant to research and follow all regulations according to the law. The Civic Garden Center and its staff does not provide any legal advice, and all inquiries will be directed to local and state legislatures. Participants in this class must be at least 21 years old. We will check IDs during class check-in as needed.

Instructors: Stephanie Fransen & Mary Dudley
