Hi folks, Tina here. How was your winter? I have to admit that after teaching the holiday workshops, I pretty much slept the last two weeks of December. But when early January came, I was raring to go again! We wanted to find you the latest and greatest, so my friend Eileen and I flew to Atlanta for five days and attended the national gift show. We found a bunch of cool, new containers to use in your workshops. After booking those orders I was able to put the finishing touches on the spring workshop list.
I started that process last summer while I still had plants to use to create samples. The result is a bunch of brand new workshops this year, including the Hummingbird Café and Hawaiian Isle. There will be more new ones in the next set for May and June, but the plants in them need the weather to be a little bit warmer. I really wanted to put some of them on this first list, but I had to do what’s best for the plants. So you have even more new ones to look forward to as well! (What do you think Bacon in the Breeze might be? Send in your answer by replying here. The first correct guess gets class for free!)
Now that Ed’s body is healing, we decided to bring back our Saturday morning lectures and demos that have been on hold for two years. They are 45 minute concentrated snippets of knowledge gleaned over the last 40 years. An entertaining mixture of both theory and what works in the real world when growing plants and designing plants, you’re sure to learn something new whether you are a beginner or have been doing this for a while and just want to up your game. A minor warning - these are scheduled to last 45 minutes, but Ed and I often get excited and go over our time limit.
Last but not least we have a new addition to our 940 Kids Club workshops. (For those of you who don’t know, our club is named after the number of Saturdays there are between when a child is born and he or she turns 18.) In order to remember to spend a few of them teaching children how to grow plants, we created this club that meets on some spring Saturdays at 9:40, and they cost $9.40 to remind you. This year’s new class is a Peter Rabbit miniature garden workshop, to coincide with the movies in theaters now. There is also a caterpillar and butterfly garden workshop.
We’re sure you’ll find something in the new list to either bring your best bud, your family, or just yourself to, so you may have a great time with plants and nature.
