Green Acres hosts succulent workshop, kids camps
When it’s triple-digit weather, how do you scratch your gardening itch? With indoor gardening classes, in air-conditioned comfort.
Green Acres Nursery & Supply still has room available in two upcoming July classes, one for adults and one for kids of all ages.
On Saturday, July 26, make a stunning succulent terrarium in a special “Create Class” called “Plant a Succulent Tapestry.” To be held at 10 a.m. at Green Acres’ Folsom store, this hands-on workshop includes everything needed to create a beautiful living centerpiece.
“Our experienced garden gurus will lead you through the process of crafting a tapestry of succulents in a large glass container,” say the hosts. “We’ll have a variety of rocks to layer for stunning vertical colors adorned with a large selection of succulent starts to plant on top. We’ll provide refreshments and charcuterie snacks to fuel those creative juices. Place your creation as a table centerpiece or focal point and enjoy all year long.”
Package includes instruction plus: 15 small succulents; dynamic glass planter; choice of decorative rocks; cactus and succulent soil; succulent fertilizer; plus refreshments and snacks.
Registration ($100) is now open; workshop is limited to 20 participants.
Green Acres’ Folsom is located at 205 Serpa Way, Folsom.
On Tuesday, July 29, Green Acres will host “Flower Fun” kids camps at two locations, Elk Grove and Roseville. Set for 10 a.m. at both nurseries, participants will make floral crowns or flower-covered masks. (And grown-ups can get in on the fun, too.)
“Be the queen or king of the garden with a crown made of dried flowers and foliage,” the hosts say. “We’ll supply all the tools you’ll need to create unique flower décor that you can wear including a paper base for a crown or mask, colorful dried flowers and foliage to decorate, and a glue gun to get the job done. We’ll start with a short nursery tour to learn about the life of a flower, and wrap up our class with a sweet, flower-themed treat.”
Space is limited to 25 junior gardeners. Recommended ages are 6 to 12, and an adult must be present to accompany and help each child throughout the 45-minute workshop.
Fee for “Kids Camp: Flower Fun” is $20 per child, and these workshops sell out fast.
Green Acres’ Elk Grove is located at 9220 E. Stockton Blvd. The Roseville location is at 7300 Galilee Road.
