Garden School Program
Collage with Nature: Making Dry Terrariums
A terrarium is a natural collage, a
tiny world, a piece of the wild brought
inside. Working with a diverse selection
of plants and elements, workshop
participants will experience the art of
creating their own unique terrariums,
exploring different styles while enjoying
the process of making them.
Instructor Amy Aiello grew up the
daughter of a naturalist, learning about
the poetics of plants and nature. Amy
merges her creativity with her love of
the natural world at Artemisia Garden
Nursery and Gallery, where she
specializes in terrariums, indoor
gardening, and natural gifts for the
home. The fee for this workshop is $30,
which includes container, rocks, moss and/or
lichen and plants necessary to create a basic
terrarium. You will also have the option
to purchase fun little treasures you find
in the shop to personalize your
terrarium.
Artemisia on 28th, SE Portland.
6:30 - 8:30 p.m.
$30. Members and guests only please.
Register online. Registration limited to 10.

Gen(i)us Program:
Grasses for Late Summer & Fall
Genus genius Carolyn Kolb is co-owner of Wind Dancer Garden
located in Salem, specializing in ornamental grasses, phormiums and bamboos. The enormous popularity of
ornamental grasses in recent years
speaks to their versatility in the garden,
as specimens, fillers, ground covers, or
backdrops. Carolyn and her husband, Larry,
have spent the last 10 years developing
Wind Dancer Garden, and they now
grow over 100 varieties of grasses,
bamboo, and Phormium. An on-site
ornamental display showcases the
plants to best advantage. Carolyn will speak about a number of
grasses and grass-like plants that are
suitable and effective in our climate and
soils, showing us pictures of them and
discussing their culture and care. She
will also have plants available for sale.
