Register Now |
Celebrate the Fall Season by creating a succulent topped pumpkin centerpiece!
You purchase a 6-8 inch wide uncarved pumpkin. We will supply you with a variety of succulents and other natural materials, glue and Zana Lugo (www.peaceloveplant.com) will supply the instruction.
We recommend your pumpkin have a flat top surface. Fantasy pumpkins also called Cinderella work very well and are usually available at Trader Joes & Sprouts. These types of pumpkins last a lot longer than a traditional carving pumpkin.

ABC's OF SETTING UP A DRIP IRRIGATION
with Frank Niccoli |
via ZOOM
|
|
Drip systems can only be sustainable if they save water, irrigate correctly, and are only installed once. So many times I come across gardens that have a drip system and the garden has dying and diseased plants, it leaks, and it cannot be calibrated. Join Frank Niccoli to understand what you need to purchase, how do you install it, and how do you calibrate your new forever drip system. You owe it to your plants to do it right.
