Oh, beloved green, let us count the shades! From the first tender leaves awakening after a long winter’s nap to the deep hues following a soaking rain. It’s tables overflowing with all the leafy goodness, the kind that makes The Shed shimmer for spring, and we couldn’t be more thrilled to revel in the vibrance of it all this beautiful weekend.
Join us for a Clover Potting Workshop at the Kids’ Activity Booth from 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. on both Saturday, March 14, and Sunday, March 15, and plant clover seeds in a biodegradable planter to take home and grow. Not only is clover a symbol of luck, but it’s also a pot of gold for your garden, serving as a natural ground cover that tolerates drought, improves soil health, helps prevent erosion, and is loved by pollinators.
Pick up a St. Patty’s Scavenger Hunt guide available all weekend long at the Information Booth and help your little leprechauns search for the hidden treasures. Finish the hunt and claim a gold chocolate coin as a prize!
