The Blue Star Fern plant is having a moment right now, and rightfully so. It’s dramatic lush foliage, looks divine in large or small spaces, and it’s an easy to care for plant. In this workshop we will be elevating the look of the Blue Star Fern by wrapping it into a moss ball or Kokedama — a bonsai tradition from Japan. When completed Kokedama’s are easy to care for and make beautiful additions to any home. All supplies and materials are included in the cost of the workshop and we’ll teach best care practices for the care and upkeep of your new string garden.
$30 -- All supplies/materials are included in the cost of the workshop. Includes one 6″ Blue Star Fern plant, forest moss, and twine.
Classes Have Limited Space Available.

Date + Time: Saturday July 27th, 2024 | 9:30-11:30am Guest Instructor: Nancy Nielson Bring a disappearing art back to life! Experience the happiness of eating what you grow not only in the summer but throughout the winter as well. In this class we will explore the many different ways of preserving what you grow - Canning, freezing, freeze-drying, dehydrating, cold storage and even using a root cellar. You can do all of it or just some of it but it’s easier than you think; it takes care of all those tomatoes and cucumbers in wonderful ways; the varieties and flavors of what you preserve yourself cannot be duplicated; the benefit of knowing what’s in your jars and what’s not in your jars (chemicals, dyes, and pesticides) brings peace and better health. That’s a lot to think about! Samples, recipes and how-to demonstrations provided. Did you know there is a pickle for every size of cucumber you grow? Come and learn. $45 — Recipes and Samples IncludedPLEASE NOTE: Unfortunately due to material costs & popularity of the class, cancellations after July 20th cannot be refunded.
