If we were to host some workshops in 2025, what would you be interested in?
We have porch pot workshops in November but we would love to host more workshops, providing our students with more opportunities to showcase their skills and knowledge.
They can be information only sessions or hands on activities.
Let Scout know and he can come up with a plan.
Also, a small herb garden planter or a workshop on a simple design for a raised small vegetable garden or community gardens so people can save money on produce!
Seed starting, winter sowing, designing with native plant material
Succulent/moss art,living walls
A summer flower porch pot for people who love flowers but don't have access to a garden
Host a " pleine aire" art workshop, let local artists sit in the green house and paint your beautiful plants and greenery . Maybe have someone from the art department available for a demo.
Id love a family friendly workshop making a terrarium or something fun but low maintenance (singles could also join but just make family friendly)
Seed starting, soil management, how to make and sustain acidic soil for blueberries and other acid-loving plants, pruning tips
Maybe host a craft show
Think Porch pots per season is a fabulous idea! Window planters as well!
That would be wonderful. Maybe introduce wreaths for Christmas. A spring porch planter.
Porch pots per season and making a wreath for a front door.
Planning and planting perennial gardens to support bees and butterflies
Backyard greenhouses (that don’t take as long as the research greenhouse to build).
Hands on flower arrangements
Loved the one you did on spring vegetable seeding
Making your own wreath
Baking or cooking
I would love this!
Lol, saw him wandering through the parking lot last week.
Hi Scout, I put a Spring wreath on my porch but it’s getting tired looking. Could your students do that kind of thing? But no catnip!! I already have a local kitty that sleeps on our porch chair! ☺️
