On January 20th, seven Garden Club members participated in a Green Thumb workshop that took place in Jeanne Yale’s garage and was led by Nancy Englund. Participants created mermaid themed container gardens. Nancy supplied the shells, soil, potted succulents and many decorative sea-themed items used to create the gardens. Some of the creations will be available to bid on at the Plant & Planter sale.
Participants also had the opportunity to drill holes in pots that they brought using a standing drill press and diamond tipped hole saw. Jeanne and Nancy plan to offer this as an annual event using the Yale drill press!
It was a beautiful sunny day after our recent rains and everyone had fun and reported that it was an entertaining and productive event. People were inspired by the selection of shells and array of succulents. And many were happy to be able to drill holes in favorite pots that they are now able to use as planters.
