Free Workshop at Ploughshares Nursery led by our fine Egyptian Black Hens, Henrieta and Isabella, along with their ‘clucking’ translator, Jeff (whom they suspect is stealing their eggs). Considering Chickens but not sure where or when to start? Wondering how much it will cost? Worried what the neighbors will think? Join us Saturday at Henrieta’s and Isabella’s Eagle-Scout-built Chicken Palace and get the answers to these questions and information about resources to Get Your Chicken On.

Designing with Air Plants
September 26, 12 noon at Ploughshares Nursery
Air Plants are enjoying a renaissance in high end garden design as well experiencing a flurry of popular interest as specimens for the home garden and office space. But this workshop isn’t for the uninitiated, it’s about how to care for and display valuable Tillandsias just like the professionals at Sunset Magazine or Flora Grubb Gardens (we love you Flora)…. do it! During the course of the workshop we will build a vertical Tillandsia display and discuss how to care for and succeed with these remarkable epiphytes.
