"Plant a Fairy Garden" Workshop Sunday, March 4th at 1:30
A Magical Sunday Afternoon of Fairies (who can resist a real fairy?) and Fun as well as planting.
You need to reserve and prepay to be sure of a spot.
For all of you who want to try out this great experience, succulents make it easy, foliage plants are prettier but need more upkeep.
We have all the fairies and supplies. You may also bring your own fairies and other decorative things such as bark, interesting rocks, or a shell you found on the beach. 
Real fairies: The girls can wear their fairy clothes and we'll have a mini show of costumes. We'll take a picture of each of our creations with the proud young fairy lover or grown-up creator in the picture.
Cost $10.00 plus materials for the adult in the group. Kids are free as long as they believe in fairies. You need to reserve and prepay to be sure of a spot.
"Learn to Moss and Plant a Basket" workshop.
Saturday, March 17th at 10:30 am
The class is free, but you pay for materials and plants.
Always a favorite class. Debbie Johnson teaches it and she is so good. Create a new one and/or bring in your old tired out baskets and she'll help you bring them back to life.
You'll learn mossing techniques, basic basket design, low water and full color planting ideas. This is a hands on class, Everyone mosses and makes a basket. You may choose to take home your creation and pay for the materials or leave it for Weidner's to sell. We call that a Tom Sawyer Project. Stay all day and make a lot of baskets! We love it!
