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

    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.
