I'm a little bit Country, I'm a little bit Rock 'n Roll
That’s what came to mind when I was thinking of how to sum up this year’s Holiday Workshops. I knew I wanted to use the snowy white owls in our Creativity Morning. So the whimsical side of me wanted to call our theme “Owl I Want for Christmas” or “Owl Be Home for Christmas”. But the classy side of me wanted a more universal name. Since the Porch Pot was designed with a charming lantern focal point, I knew I had my answer by calling our morning workshop “Silent Night”. Can’t you just imagine you and your guests walking into your home after a light snow? Everything is magically quiet, as the snow absorbs the night sounds. A calm, comforting feeling envelops you. Who knows what waits for you on the other side of the door, but for now, you remember why you decorate your home for the holidays: To celebrate the season with your friends and family.
But don’t worry, I haven’t forgotten the whimsy! The biggest surprise last year was the Grinch Tree. Both the kid’s class and the full-sized version were a huge hit. People sent me loads of pictures when they got them home. There is nothing wrong with having a little fun, too, during the holidays, especially if it reminds you of the story behind that Grinch Tree. A quick glance at it as you leave your home to go shopping may remind you to be a little kinder when you find yourself in line behind the person counting pennies, or when the waitress forgets the cream for your coffee.
And speaking of kindness, $5 from every Christmas Cat Wreath sold will go to The Second Chance Animal Shelter. This is a brand new class, brought to us by our friend and garden center owner in Virginia.
So check out the new list, but please, please REGISTER EARLY. We are hosting over 50 private classes this season, so there may not be time for a second class if the first one fills up, like we usually do. If you’d like more info on our private classes, contact me at Tina@BemisFarms.com. In brief, you need a minimum of 10 people for a class here at the nursery, and a minimum of 15 to 20, depending on how far away you are, for a class at your place. We still have some mornings available, and a few afternoons. Most of the evenings are already booked until December 12th , but it never hurts to ask. We start booking classes a year in advance, so if we can’t work something out this year, you can get on the calendar for next year!
Bring a Friend, Have Some Fun, and Leave the mess behind!
