Friday, March 29, 6:30 pm – 8:30 pm – Fairy Garden Workshop

by

It must be Spring! Join The Trustees on March 29 from 6:30 – 8:30 at Stevens-Coolidge Place in North Andover for an evening workshop and create your very own fairy garden. We will provide everything you need, including a container, soil mix, a variety of suitable miniature plants, and a selection of miniature embellishments and natural materials to appease the garden fairies. Leave with a tiny world to enjoy inside or out!

“When the winds of March are wakening the crocuses and the crickets,
Did you ever find a fairy near some budding little thickets,…
And when she sees you creeping up to get a closer peek
She tumbles through the daffodils, a playing hide and seek.”
-Marjorie Barrows

Space is limited. Pre-registration is required. $28 for Trustees members, $35 for nonmembers. Intended for audiences 14+. One ticket reserves a space for one person. Register at www.thetrustees.org.

Through a power point presentation and herbarium specimens, this New England Wild Flower Society class at Garden in the Woods in Framingham on March 23 from 10 – 1 investigates many of the native and non-native buttercup species that bloom in spring and early summer. The class, taught by Ted Elliman, focuses on the characteristics that distinguish each species of this large and sometimes confusing group and discusses their typical habitats. $40 for NEWFS members, $48 for nonmembers.
