Write a commentIn a real change of pace, Suzanne Stout will conduct a Mini-Garden Art Party on Monday, July 24 from 7 to 9 p.m. for participants to make their own indoor container gardens. Suzanne’s mini-gardens have been hot sellers at the Riverside Artisans shop, and now our patrons can learn to make their own.
Earth, rock, wood, flora, fauna and some whimsy comprise Suzanne's world of gardens. Observing and enjoying nature has developed into a variety of creative endeavors including dried and fresh flower arrangements, rustic weddings, dried and live garden scenes, all adorned with mini surprises and fun.
Come to Suzanne's class and enjoy creating your own world. She will cover the basics of designing mini-gardens, how to select and organize plants and ornaments, and how to assemble them in a glass container.
Suzanne's and her husband Jim's gardens and land supply much of her materials as she collects moss, rocks, plants and ideas. Jim's scraps from a barn full of beautiful woods and driftwood are used in all her gardens.
The cost of the party is $35, if you bring your own container, or $45 if you would like to use one of Suzanne’s. All plants, soil, stones and other materials will be provided. There is a $10 registration fee, with the balance of due the evening of the class. If you have a special container, favorite fairies, gnomes or other tiny characters, bring them with you. Extra containers are available for $10; plants, soil, stones and whimsy characters included in price. Children 10 and over welcome.
