The deadline to register for the Milwaukee District Garden Clubs' Living Art Frame Workshop is 8pm, Wednesday, Sept. 13. Our workshop coordinators need a week to order plant material and prepare for the workshop.
The succulent workshop is set for 10am to 12pm on Thursday, Sept. 21 at Boerner Botanical Gardens. A district fund raiser, the workshop is being coordinated by our 2nd Vice Director, Nicholas Lemus. We are so pleased to have the talented Nancy Cody as our workshop instructor. Nancy is a certified floral designer, the owner of Rose and Twig Floral Design and President of the Garden Club of Greater Milwaukee. Nancy and her helpers will assist you in creating a unique art frame filled with succulents. Nancy says this indoor living frame is easy to care for and she will discuss care and propagation during the workshop. The cost of the workshop is $60 per person and includes a handmade frame, all of the plant materials and a portion for the MDGC. As a special bonus, Nancy has added a fall pumpkin decoration with moss, succulents and dried flowers for anyone who would like to make one. Registration and payments for the workshop are online.
