ORGANIC VEGETABLE GARDENING & EDIBLE LANDSCAPING LIVE ONLINE

In these trying times, knowing how and where your food is grown has become especially important and difficult to discern. In this innovative online class, focus will be on organic growing methods, using native plants to attract native pollinators, and beneficial insects to your garden. Discover several options for sustainable and organic growing techniques, including container gardens, as well as small to large-scale gardens. We will discuss seed starting, pest management, soil, fertilizers, and more. Learning how to grow your own vegetables and fruits is fun and rewarding, and gives you a sense of security, knowing how your fresh food is grown. In addition to a designated area of your property being set aside for a garden, you will also discover how to incorporate some edibles (mostly unique fruit) into your landscape design. Not only can your property be aesthetically pleasing, but delicious, too!

YOUTH

THEATRE WORKSHOP FOR YOUTH: ALICE’S ADVENTURES IN WONDERLAND FOR BOYS AND GIRLS (AGES 9-16)

If you are between the ages of 9 and 16 (grades 4-11), you can participate in a 13-week workshop culminating in a Fine Arts Center Theatre performance! In addition to dramatic exercises designed to hone acting skills, you’ll rehearse a wonderful adaptation of Lewis Carroll’s beloved Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland. Follow that rabbit to a delightful, entertaining world of childhood fantasies. Alice journeys into a world of talking animals, comic royalty and races where the contestants run in circles! There are also the Mad Hatter’s frantic tea party, the watch-carrying White Rabbit and talking flowers. Along the way, Alice must deal with a sneezing duchess and a baby that turns into a pig! The finale has Alice watching a trial, but she suddenly finds herself the accused! The play gives a modern view to an old classic, where nonsense makes quite good sense.
