  • Sunday, October 25, 12:30 pm – 2:30 pm – A Pumpkin Full of Flowers

    Join Betsy Williams of The Proper Season for a fascinating session at Tower Hill Botanic Garden on Sunday, October 25 beginning at 12:30 pm, entitled A Pumpkin Full of Flowers.  Peter, Peter Pumpkin Eater may have kept his wife in a pumpkin shell, but you can fill your sugar pumpkin shell with beautiful fall flowers as a grand welcome to the harvest season and Halloween.  After you have hollowed out a pumpkin, you’ll fill it with colorful, long-lasting fall flowers, preserved leaves, grasses and berries. All materials are included. Please bring floral scissors and an apron to class, since pumpkin cleaning can be a messy job. This program will be held under our open sided outdoor canopy tent. If it is too cold indoors, we will retreat in one of our well-ventelated classrooms. Group size will not exceed current state restrictions (10).

    The cost of the  session is $75 for Tower Hill members, $90 for non-members. Registration  may be done on line at www.towerhillbg.org.
