Create Your own Hand-tied Wreath in time for the Holiday Season!
Add a personal touch to the holiday with a traditional wreath hand-made by you! We will guide you through designing and crafting your own hand-tied wreath, incorporating beautiful and aromatic seasonal elements.
As a follow up to our Art of Foraging demonstration held in November—when we discussed where to find foliage, berries, seed pods, and acorns to create an autumnal wreath—you are invited back to use your foraging skills to create a wonderful winter centerpiece. (Newcomers are welcome, but should read this post thoroughly and may wish to call for more information).
Calgo horticulturalist Patti Dixon will guide your efforts. We will provide the container, floral foam, and candles - you will provide your own evergreen boughs! Patti will show you how to trim the evergreens and build a long lasting seasonal arrangement.
One of our most popular events!
Save the date! Over 50 artists—favorites and new—will exhibit their works and wares: watercolor and acrylic painters, jewelers, potters, photographers, and many others with unique, creative ways of expression. Live music starting at noon. Stroll our beautiful grounds, enjoy the seasonal plants and flowers, relax on the patio, get a snack at The Tulip Tree Café…and of course support your local artists.
Join us for a discussion on the weird and wonderful world of air plants.
Learn about where they are from, how they survive, and tips and tricks to grow them successfully. We will also demonstrate different ways to display and craft with them. Each participant will go home with their own air plant creation.
Just in time for Mother's Day, you can make a gift terrarium!
Garden terrariums make a fresh and interesting addition to any indoor space. We'll guide you through the hands-on process of building your own unique creation.
Craft a beautiful living wreath that, with proper care, will last through the summer and into autumn.

Succulents are all the rage!
These low maintenance beauties are some of the most fun and interesting houseplants around. Join us for a demonstration to learn about different types of succulents, how to plant them, how to display them—and even better—how to divide them and make more!

Have any old tools lying around that you might want to repurpose?
Why not plant up a shovel, hoe, rake or any garden object you have. Use succulents as shown, ferns, or any other annual you prefer and display on a shed or other structure that you fancy!
