Workshops & Seminars
We offer a range of workshops in which small groups can get hands-on experience and learn a skill or process. Group sizes are kept deliberately small and seldom exceed 8 people. If you have a group and would like to schedule a workshop with Rugged Weeds, please contact us and tell us which offering you are interested in and a time frame. Please check back from time to time, as the list below will change.
Pricing for the workshops are on the individual workshops' schedule, including what participants will take home with them.
