Fall 2007 Workshops
Please note these are archived classes for reference
only.
School is starting, the nights are getting crisp, and the
Fall Workshops have started! Give yourself a nice break from the day to day and
treat yourself to a workshop to nurture your creative side. Whether you are a
regular or a first timer, you will come away from it with a sense of pride and
accomplishment. And probably meet a new friend along the way.
If you had to choose just one class, we highly recommend the Layered Bulb Pot
on Sunday October 28. We really cram about $50 of bulbs into an oval pot by
planting them in layers. We over-winter it here in the greenhouses that are
heated to 32 degrees for 14 weeks so they can be tricked into thinking they are
underground. You pick up the pot in February, put it inside a cool sunny window,
and you will have blooms for a month. All just when you think winter will never
end. This is one of the most highly rated classes we have. Last year a record
150 people signed up for this class so we added five additional class times
during the day so that everyone had plenty of space and materials.
