WORKSHOPS SCHEDULED

FOR MAY

Kingwood Center has scheduled weekly workshops through May. These classes cover many areas of gardening and decor and have something to offer the entire family. 

Next on the schedule is Bill Collins on Saturday, May 26, from 10:30 a.m. to 12 noon showing you how to make a beautiful summer container garden.  He will advise on different containers, plants and how to care for them.  Students will plant their own container garden to take home. 

Bill will also create a summer container garden of flowering annuals for children ages 5 and up from 1-2:30 p.m. on the same day.

Also on May 26, Debbie Sickmiller will show you how to make a 55 gallon rain barrel to take home.  This popular workshop will be from 9-10:30 a.m., so get your reservation in early to assure a place in the class.
