Award winning floral jewelry designer Sarah Boynton will be offering a class on the basics of how to create beautiful jewelry out of dried plant material. The class will be held from 10 – 12 noon in the Parkman Room at Elm Bank on Saturday, October 25, from 10 – noon.

Talent and creativity can transform plants from around our gardens and woodlands into such realistic pieces of jewelry. The picture below is an Egyptian necklace which took first place at the Philadelphia Flower Show in 2010. This class, sponsored by the Massachusetts Horticultural Society, costs $25 for Mass Hort members, $30 for nonmembers. Register by calling 617-933-4973 or visit www.masshort.org.
