Educational and Container Classes

We offer educational classes in the spring. Please check back in mid-Feburary for a list of classes we will be offering in April 2025.

We also offer container classes in the spring, fall, and Christmas container classes in November and December. This year we are also scheduling a gnome class.

Christmas Container and Gnome Classes

Yea! It is that time of year again when we begin to think about Christmas and the wonderful music, food, family, friends, and decorating our homes inside and out. During this busy time of year, we would love to have you join us for a Christmas container class where you can use your creativity to design a container just for your own home. Bring your family, friends, co-workers, or come by yourself and make some new friends during the class.

Each class is 1.5 - 2 hours and the price is based on the type of container that you choose. Prices range from $35.00-$75.00. We have about 12 different types of containers to choose from. This price includes the container, wood mulch, 4 types of evergreen boughs, sticks, and a $10.00 credit towards your decorations.

If you want to bring your own container or decorations, we will determine a minimum price based on the size of your container. We want to be flexible knowing that many may have saved their containers from last year or have a special container that you would like to decorate.

Containers last for several months whether you place these inside or outside and you can change out the decorations for Valentine’s Day or St. Patrick’s Day.

The following dates and times have been scheduled, however you may also schedule a private class or Christmas party with us depending on availability.

Wednesday, Nov 13th and 20th 6 pm;

Thursday, November 14th and 21st 1 pm and 6 pm;

Friday, November 15th and 22nd 6 pm;

Friday, November 29th at 1 pm

Saturday November 16th, 23rd, and 30th, December 7th 10 am and 1 pm;

Want to make something super cute and fun that makes you smile this Christmas? How about a cute little gnome. We will be making these fun little guys for two classes only on Saturday, November 16th at 10 am and the day after Thanksgiving on Friday, November 29th at 1 pm along with a container class. You can store these in the shade or a cool garage until you want to bring these outside. They will last for months.

Cost of class will be $55.00 and will include the weighted container base, 42 inch frame, boughs, flocking spray, hat, mittens, and nose.
