Other Classes: If there is enough interest, I may piggy back some classes in April. We will go over these in class, or check this blog for further info regarding these 'extra' classes in March. These classes would be paid for individually, so take only what you like.
Topics could be: 'small fruits' like strawberries, raspberries, blueberries etc. (2 hr class)
'growing roses' and flowering shrubs (2 hr. class)
'landscape bed design' (flowers/shrubs) (2 hr. class)

Flower Arranging Classes: We will have one in the spring and one in late summer.
Check side bar on regular blog for that information, to be
posted later.

Snacks: The past 2 years we have had a snack sign-up sheet go around, and everyone usually has taken a turn at bringing something for the 1/2 way though class 'break.' I will need volunteers for the 1st class, so if that can be you, please let me know when you sign -up. We ask that you bring either beverages or treats for 15, and we have several people bring each time. If you don't want to participate in this part, not a problem. This year, I will be looking for a volunteer to handle the sign-up sheet for me. This break has been a good time for folks to mingle and network.
