As the seasons change and our outdoor plants begin to wane, we look to brightening our indoor spaces with all things green. But indoor gardening can present challenges of its own. In this workshop we will walk you through the basics and not so basics to get you started on creating your own thriving indoor plant paradise!

Will Axelrod, our D/B Project Manager and indoor horticultural extraordinaire, will teach you everything you need to know about soil, light and watering needs for your indoor garden. We will examine what conditions are favorable for different types of plants, their care requirements, and steps for addressing common challenges. We’ll also discuss varied propagation techniques from stem and leaf cuttings to division. 

During the workshop each participant will re-pot a small plant or two in a terra-cotta pot based on their personal lighting situation and aesthetic tastes. Let’s green the city one windowsill at a time!

Our workshops and events are available at a sliding scale. We invite you to practice economic solidarity with your community and choose the ticket tier that makes most sense with your financial situation

• General

  This tier is at the market rate and reflects the true cost of the service, labor and expertise of producing the workshop/event. This price point allows us to generate a profit. We encourage those with access to wealth to opt for this tier as it enables Brooklyn Grange to offer more tickets at an accessible price.

• Sustainable

  This tier reflects the cost of our service labor and expertise required to produce the workshop/event and allows us to make a small profit. We encourage those to opt for a Sustainable Ticket if the price point of a General Ticket is prohibitive.

• Solidarity

  This ticket tier reflects our intention to make our events open for all! We want all members of our community to enjoy Brooklyn Grange no matter their financial situation. Opt for the Solidarity ticket if General or Sustainable is not accessible to you right now.

About William Axelrod: A born and bred New Yorker, Will believes greenery is as important to NYC’s culture as bagels and corner delis. At Skidmore College, he majored in finance hoping to become a slick wall street executive, but as the strain on the environment weighed on him, he found a job with a local landscaper and was immediately hooked. Since then he has worked for New York Restoration Project maintaining 15 community gardens in underserved neighborhoods in Brooklyn and Queens, as well as several for-profit landscape companies, versing him in many styles of urban gardening. At Brooklyn Grange, Will is able to combine his passion for sustainability and ecologically minded landscaping while building a system that help his team feel fulfilled and grow. When he’s not gardening, you can find Will biking the loop in prospect park, sneaking food into Film Forum, or swimming on Rockaway Beach.
