Redenta’s Garden

January 17, 2014 By Talya Tate Boerner

Redenta's Garden - Aloe Shot

This week on Six Blocks from my house… Redenta’s Garden. Redenta’s is my go-to place for organic gardening everything. The staff is knowledgeable and friendly and willingly spreads gardening love via free Saturday morning classes. (Last weekend John and I took a vegetable gardening class—timely for us with our new community garden plot.)  

And if free classes aren’t cool enough, on the third Thursday of each month (5-7 PM) Redenta’s hosts a monthly Happy Hour Potting Bar.  Genius! 

Last night my girlfriends and I checked it out. We studied the happy hour menu for quite some time. It was difficult to choose from all the options, plus there is the added option of a “market price” creation.

Your hostess will pot your new plant in the container of your choice while you enjoy cocktails and chips and salsa. Or, you can get your hands dirty and pot your own. The folks at Redenta’s are very accommodating and fun people.

Since John had to be out of town on the night of our 15th wedding anniversary, he bought me two plants:)

Very Dr. Suess-ish, don’t you think?

Six Blocks from my house is something new for 2014. Each week or two I’ll highlight a few things going on only six blocks (or so) from my house. Maybe a new place, an event, a person, who knows?  East Dallas is funky and fabulous and filled with unique history. I plan to show it off.

There’s also disparity between the haves and have nots. The hidden, disregarded and not-so-clean-and-tidy will sometimes be included. That’s part of our neighborhood too.

    This is such a great idea! Wish we had something like this around here. And I love the whole idea of the “6 Blocks” series.

    For starters, I love their approach–a plant happy hour! How cool. And the succulents are beautiful. I bet it was a fun evening.
