Monthly Garden Walk & Educational Workshop
September 19 @ 6:00 pm - 8:00 pm
Come explore the Hope Grows property, walk through our 11 healing gardens, and enjoy different educational workshops and children’s activities each month!
Our Adult Backyard Basics Educational Series is all about the fundamentals of growing, harvesting, and beautifying your backyard. At Hope Grows, we believe that having a strong understanding of the “basics” before diving in headfirst is of the utmost importance in making sure you’re ready to start a new backyard hobby! Consider joining us for one or all of our adult classes this growing season.
SEPTEMBER 19: Basic Flower Arranging
Bring your own vase and we’ll supply the flowers! Learn what cut flowers you could grow next year so that you can build a bouquet from your own backyard. All it takes is 4-5 different types of annual plants to give you a summer of beauty in your kitchen or for gift-giving. REGISTER ONLINE.
Workshops are $15 per person and limited to 12 participants. Registration is required!
All classes are 6:30-7:30pm in the Education Pavilion at the Iris Respite House B&B and Healing Gardens, located at 183 Shafer Road in Moon Township.
Garden walks and children’s activities are free and open to the public from 6-8pm.
SEPTEMBER CHILDREN’S ACTIVITY: Petal Painting
Pound out the pigment from the different colored petals of flowers and “paint” yourself a picture! Jess will guide you through this free-minded creation of a nature print. You can “Make 2 & Give 1” to an important caring person in your life while learning to appreciate nature and abstract art. Participants can also go home with a cut flower from the garden, your choice.
