GETTINí DIRTY with the Garden Goddesses
By Earlene Eisley-Freeman and Cyndi Davis
With the holidays rapidly approaching, we thought it would be fun to offer a variety of opportunities for you all to come and explore how easy it is to make some gifts for your friends and families this year. So we have set up a series of Make a Gift classes for November and December.
These classes are offered free, but we do request that you sign up ahead of time.
Starting the lineup at 2:00 p.m. on Saturday Nov. 7, Cyndi will demonstrate how to plant and force bulbs for the holidays, both for yourself and to give as gifts. Several bulbs make suitable holiday gifts and decorations, and are very easy to prepare.
On the following Saturday, Nov. 14 at 2:00 p.m. Earlene will show how to plant a unique pot with several pockets, a Plantopia. Possibilities for the fun project include herbs, flowers, or a salad garden.
Then on Saturday Nov. 21, at 2:00 p.m. Pamela Rohde, a Master Food Preserver, will share her knowledge of making and canning apple butter. Apples will be provided, but space will be limited so be sure to sign up early for this one.
On Saturday, Dec. 5 at 2:00 p.m. Warehouse Bob will be conducting the popular stepping stone class. Everyone will be able to create their own stone. Supplies and some decorations will be provided, but for a truly personal creation, you can bring your own items to imbed in your stone. Again, space is limited for this class, so be sure to sign up early.
On Sunday Dec. 6 at 2:00 p.m. Earlene will be creating some unique gift baskets, and offering assistance to those of you who want to create a special gift for someone. Baskets can include flowers, books, gardening paraphernalia, veggies, poinsettias, seeds or anything else that seems fun. And you can use items other than baskets ñ think of filling pots, watering cans, or gift bags with fun stuff.
And finally, last but not least, on Saturday Dec. 12 at 2:00 p.m., Dorothy will be offering suggestions for planting containers. Maybe you have been wanting to make an herb window box or a cactus dish garden for someone special. Now is your chance to get some help from a pro!
We hope, with our assistance, you will have a great holiday season, and also have lots of fun making some unique gifts for those you love. We hope you can join us for some of these classes , see you soon!!
