Garden Programs

The Lodge at Woodloch has always been known for its focus on nature. Regular workshops will be an integral part of the activities calendar including cultural practices and seasonal tips and suggestions. With the help of Master Gardener, Alison Peck, The Lodge is giving guests the opportunity to "get their hands dirty" - a natural fit with the spa's philosophy of personal awakening. Alison is also available for one-on-one sessions for guests looking for advice on growing a successful garden, whether on a fire-escape in New York City or in a lush backyard in the suburbs.

Bog Talk
Surrounding our glacial lake is an ecosystem teeming with life. Join us as we break down and identify the different forms of life the Bog has to offer. Edibles, medicinals, and endangered species of plants are just a small part of the Bog that is ever changing and fascinating.

Companion Planting
Join our garden team for this informative and fun workshop. Certain plant combinations not only add to a beautiful garden, they also work together to create an environment that will encourage growth and an overall healthy garden. Discover these combinations and their benefits and bring your new knowledge to your home garden!
