Learn. Create. Gather. 

Brookside

About Us

At Brookside, we believe plants bring people together.

Learn. Create. Gather. is more than a tagline — it’s the heart of our workshops and events. What began as our beloved Plant & Sip nights has grown into a vibrant lineup of hands-on experiences designed to inspire creativity, spark curiosity, and build community.


Our workshops are nature-driven, welcoming, and designed for all skill levels. Whether you’re brand new to plants or a seasoned hobbyist, our team guides you step-by-step through each project while sharing practical plant care knowledge you can take home with you.


Every class includes all materials needed to complete your project — just bring yourself (and maybe a friend). From creative plant builds to seasonal décor, kids’ workshops to specialty events, each gathering is rooted in fun and connection.


🌿 Community-Led Learning

We’re proud to partner with talented members of our local community who bring their unique skills and specialties into the greenhouse. From artists and makers to educators and plant enthusiasts, we love creating space for others to teach, share, and inspire. By collaborating with local experts, we’re able to offer fresh, diverse experiences while supporting the creativity that makes our community thrive.


Beyond workshops, Brookside offers a thoughtfully curated selection of houseplants, succulents, air plants, pottery, gifts, and garden-inspired décor available in-store.
