TBG Outdoor Summer Urns CANCELLED
[PG08W34] Sandra Pella
Join our own designer on staff for this unique opportunity to see “behind the scenes” at the TBG. Sandra will design contemporary-styled living arrangements for the two large outdoor urns displayed at the TBG’s front entrance. She’ll show you how to apply these same design principles to smaller urns perfect for adorning your own front entry. You’ll be inspired to recreate these fabulous designs at home. Please meet in the Demonstration Courtyard and dress for the weather.
Sunday, May 4, 1 to 4 p.m.
Public $25 / Members $20

Make It and Take It Workshops

Woven Willow Window Box
[PG08W35] Linda Lee Purvis
Imagine a delightful willow window box overflowing with spring flowers! Crafted from fresh supple willow whips, chubby twigs and ‘new’ barnboard, this rustic basket/box can be used each season to display the floral materials of your choice. Please bring good hand pruning shears, a knife for whittling, glue-gun and optional loppers.
Saturday, April 26, 1 to 3 p.m.
Public $65 / Members $60

Deciduous Spring Swag
[PG08W36] Linda Lee Purvis
Drape your house with the look and scent of spring! Starting with supple young willow whips, the swag is shaped and filled with a variety of fresh foliages including fragrant common eucalyptus, cascading elliptical and/or willow eucalyptus, and the broad lemon leaf. Embellish the swag with fresh spring flowers (kept fresh in water bullets tucked into the branches) and you’ll be amazed at the results. Swags can be customized to fit over a single or double door for indoors or out, or for topping a hutch, window or cupboard.
Please bring hand pruning shears, a glue gun and snips.
