Events and Classes

Join us at Wenke Greenhouses to celebrate Easter and the coming of spring!

In this workshop, kids will get an opportunity to create their own Peter Rabbit salad bowl garden. In this workshop you will plant a container with bunny friendly lettuce, herb and pansy plants. For children of all ages. Adults must stay with children. This event will be held rain or shine inside a greenhouse.

Purchase a ticket and then drop in between 10 am and 2pm on Saturday April 8, 2023 to make your own Peter Rabbit garden bowl. Get your ticket today!

The Easter Bunny will be hopping in to visit with all the kids at Wenke Greenhouses on Saturday, April 8, 2023. Come by between 10:30am and 1:30 pm for a chance to meet, mingle and snap a photo or two with our white, fluffy friend. It’s the perfect set-up for a spring time photo with Mr. Peter Cottontail! Bring your camera! FREE

Please register and get a ticket to help us know how many families to expect. Only one ticket is needed per family.

Ready for a taste of spring? Join us for a free tour of our 18-acre production greenhouse. See how we sow and germinate the seeds, transplant into pots and baskets and grow the beautiful plants you see at our retail store. The walking tour takes about an hour and it’s all indoors so no need to worry about the weather. Families, gardeners and all interested people are welcome to join us. The production greenhouse is located at 2525 North 30th Street, Kalamazoo, MI 49048. We’re close to Echo Valley and Robert Morris Park.

Please be sure to wear comfortable shoes as this walking tour is on cement floors.

Note: If this event fills up quickly, we might add another one later in the afternoon so be sure to add yourself to the waitlist.

Join us for one of Wenke’s Spring Potting Parties to plant your own container garden (s) that will make you the envy of your neighborhood. We will guide you while you create your very own masterpiece. Bring patio-size containers from home or choose from our own fabulous selection.  You will need to pay for all of the plant material you use to create your containers at the end of the workshop and this cost will be determined by size and amount of plant material used. You may take your planters home with you on the day of your scheduled party or we will care for your container(s) for free at the retail store until the 5/14/23 pickup date. Please keep in mind that any containers left at the retail store after the 5/14/23 pickup dates will be subject to additional growing fees.

This is your chance to enjoy planting your beautiful containers, without having to worry about any of the cleanup.

1. Final cost will be determined by size and amount of plant material used and will need to be paid at the end of the workshop.  Please note: Due to the rising cost of labor, we will no longer be crediting the workshop fee to your finished container price.
2. You may bring up to 2 containers.
3. No outside plant material allowed.
4. If you are going to bring your own containers from home, please empty the dirt out and give them a few swipes with a rag before bringing them to the workshop. It is always best to start the season with fresh potting soil. Wenke Garden Reward Members receive free soil when planting your own containers at the store. Not a Garden Reward Member? Joining is easy and FREE! Sign up in the store.
5. If you are planning to purchase some containers before the class, please arrive at least 15 minutes early to make your selection.
6. We will care for your containers for free at the retail store until the 5/14/23 pickup date. Any containers left beyond this date will be subject to growing fees.

*Note: There are multiple date and time slots available for this workshop. Please refer to your ticket to confirm date and time.
