First Annual Scarecrow Workshop & Contest!
We will provide the structural supplies—wood support, straw, burlap, twine—and step by step instructions. Bring your imagination and some scarecrow fashion/clothing to dress your creation.
Scarecrows will be on display September 16-22. Judging will take place at our Autumn Art In the Garden Show on September 22 by popular vote. A $50 gift certificate to Calgo will be awarded to the winner!
Calgo Gardens’ happy gathering of amazingly talented, local artists and artisans, is one of our most popular events!
Save the date! Our happy gathering reappears this September. 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, too!
Our good friend & popular workshop leader Janice Shields is back with a fun new project! Using pressed leaves, flowers, and solar dyes you will create beautiful canvas tote bags.
SolarFast dyes are colorless out of the bottle, but develop into beautifully vibrant and permanent hues when exposed to sunlight. You can select from several colors to blend, use a spray applicator or a sponge, so each will be unique.
Learn how to divide tubers and identify those that will and will not produce flowers/plants next year.
Each participant will receive a viable tuber and enough storing medium for over winter protection.

The multi-talented Lydia Santoro (jeweler, Calgo workshop leader & Art Show vendor) will teach you to knit with your fingers and create this soft, on trend treasure. You will have four colors to choose from; please choose a color when registering.
A fun ladies night where we will demonstrate how to create an arrangement using edible vegetables, herbs, and decorative materials.
