Where Betula Room No need to be chicken about chickens! Get all of your questions answered. How do you raise chickens? Do they make good pets? Are they messy? Will they get along with your other pets? Learn the advantages of pets with personality that produce and are easy to maintain. Along with the basics, find out if you can legally own/raise backyard chickens, where to source chicks, and general chick and chicken care. Enjoy the opportunity to meet a flock up close and personal, discuss coops, space needs, and obtain resources to help you get started.
Where Acer Room Plant collectors all over the world have preserved plants the same way for hundreds of years.

During the first class, you will select and collect the plant specimen; the following week, mount and press the specimen to take home to enjoy for years to come. Your pressed flora is suitable for framing. Students will receive a press to keep for making more at home.
