2011 Fall Workshops

In a desperate attempt to meet their sales projections, every Tom, Dick, and Harry store these days seems to be selling fall mums and other fall decorations.  But they're happy once they have your money.  We're only happy when the plants and accessories look great at your house.  And if decorating the outside of your home is as baffling to you as decorating the inside of my new home with furniture and drapes is to me, then you might appreciate a little guidance to get that professional look at a do-it-yourself price.  That's where our workshops come in.  We teach you the best way to combine the elements of fall so you can decorate now an in the future with greater confidence.  Please join us for a class this fall.  Join us for at least three, and you can make a Layered Bulb Pot (Spring Forward) to enjoy in February for free!

Our famous New England weather is rearing it's head. For our workshops we always hold them as scheduled for those who are adventurous drivers. But we also never want anyone to drive when they are uncomfortable doin so. We will make accomodations due to weather circumstances. If you are uncomfortable driving, please call us and let us know and we will make arrangements with you.
