Hey, Ric...
I think that a workshop would be nice and I also think that management would have NO objections.
I love doing clinics--but there are so few of us in garden this time of year that it would be hard to
take away one or two people for this Clinic.
Over the years--I have done several garden-related clinics. Location is always an issue.
Management is either WITH you on this kind of an activity or NOT.
A couple years ago--I (we) ran a workshop on repotting. . "YOU (the customer) buy the plant and the pot
--and we will repot it for free--soil included....
Here is how one couple "abused" this generosity.
They bought a huge pot--like 1/2 a whiskey barrel--and 4-- 3" plants to put in it.
That big pot took 2 big bags of potting mix to put in it ~$15 worth. I did not even bother potting the small
plants in it--just left them on top of the soil. as it was obvious that they were pulling one on us.
They got 2 bags of potting mix for free--for paying about $10 for the small plants.
Theoretically--there was nothing we could do. That IS what we advertised...
