Mike Atkinson has been growing plumerias for over 25 years. He’ll teach the basics of successfully growing plumerias in our region in a small, interactive workshop environment. He’ll not only teach you what to do, but he’ll show you, as well. And he’ll walk you through his plumeria operation on the farm.
This class is held in an in-person, intimate setting on Atkinson Plumeria Farm outside under a canopy, protected from the sun. This is rain or shine.
After the class, you can walk around the farm among the 100s of plumerias and 1000s of blooms.
