Join us for the FIRST annual L’OCA House Plant Exchange!
If you’ve never been to a plant exchange, here’s how it goes down...
This is a community event that brings people together to talk plants, and to find new homes for their outgrown plants, if they like!
The L’OCA House Plant Exchange is also an excellent way in which to get to know fellow growers in the area and learn more about what works and does not work in our climate!
A welcome glass of prosecco or non-alcoholic beverage will be served upon arrival, and additional beverages will be available for purchase a la carte throughout the class.
Also… those who attend the first annual House Plant Exchange will get exclusive access to purchase some of L’OCA’s exotic house plants at very special prices!
So… gather your friends, human and plant alike, and join us to see what the community of Sherwood Park (and L’OCA Quality Market) has to offer!
About your instructor
After completing her horticulture education at Olds College in 2014, Mary worked for two years in the U of A greenhouses, where she ventured into various sectors of the industry, including landscaping, cut flower production, and indoor crop cultivation.
Over the past three years, she has combined her passions for plants and design by immersing herself in the floral world.
Mary especially enjoys expressing her creativity through floral arrangements, particularly when using unique flower varieties!
For Mary, floriculture embodies the concept of biophilia—the innate human desire to connect with nature, and she is a firm believer in the transformative power of plants and is dedicated to helping others experience this connection.
Whether through beautifully curated blooms, educational initiatives, or functional herb gardens, she finds success in anything that brings joy and fosters a deeper appreciation for nature.
