Wednesday Talks in the Idea Garden

We've got plans for Wednesdays.  Which means boy-oh-boy do we have plans for you too!  (Just about every Wednesday--May through September--May 4th starts us off. ) At high noon, on the first and third Wednesdays of the month, I will be doing the honors and I will offer a sample taste of a tasty treat created with a bit of something that was grown in the Idea Garden (and I do try to stretch your tastebuds quite often!).  I'll also give you a bit of garden advice that is relevant for the season--hence the name for the program--Tips & Tastes in the Garden.   

If you yearn to learn a bit more about floral design and gain a few tips on just how to care for your cut flowers, you'll want to join Beth Libby, Floral Designer at Cantigny, on her Blossom Bits Wednesdays.  Beth crams lots of knowledge into her once monthly sessions and you won't want to miss a one!

Jill Weiss, Greenhouse Grower and Idea Garden Assistant, will present Ask the Grower.  Jill rounds out the month with juicy facts on growing your best plants ever--and she does it on a grand scale at her own farm/home too!  Go on see if you've got a question for her that she's not able to tackle...I challenge you!

What do you have to do?  Just these three things:

     1.  We would  like you to register on-line; just so we know how many people to plan for.  And some of us give out free stuff...but only to those who actually did register!  
     2.  You can bring a snack along and get your lunch in while we're doing our "show". 
     3.  The only mandatory thing you have to do is..smile.  Sorry--no exceptions!  We're having fun planning these days for you and we want to hang out with people who like to have fun too! 

There is no fee for these classes...just think...no $$ spent and you'll go home with a wealth of information--how 'bout that?  Wealthier in the wallet and wealthier in plant brain power!  See you Wednesdays in the Idea Garden!
