Get into the cozy spirit of crafting with this fun Pom Pom Gnome Workshop! In this hands-on class, you’ll learn how to transform simple yarn and a wooden bead into an adorable Scandinavian-style gnome. Whether you're looking to create charming decorations, handmade gifts, or just enjoy a relaxing evening with fellow crafters, this class is perfect for beginners and seasoned DIYers alike. Ages 12 and up.

Whether you are an absolute beginner or someone who once learned to crochet and have forgotten how, this class is for you! We start at the beginning, looking at tools and yarn. You will learn chain stitch, slip stitch, single, half double and double crochet, increasing and decreasing and how to read patterns and diagrams. You will make a dishcloth, scarf, granny squares and a small stuffed animal. Required supply list: (Note: Occasionally classes are canceled due to low enrollment. Please wait to purchase supplies until 5 business days prior to the start of this class to ensure the class will be held.) Please be sure to bring the following items to our first meeting: Metal or plastic crochet hook, size H/8 (5mm) At least 2 ounces of “beginner” cotton yarn (such as Woobles Easy Peasey or Cuddle Craft Tube yarn) in a light color. This type of yarn may have this symbol on the paper band that goes around it: or it may be called “worsted weight” or medium weight #4. The yarn itself looks like a thin tube of t-shirt type knitted material. If you are unable to find this type of yarn, buy a small ball of 100% cotton yarn such as Sugar n’ Cream. Again, stick with light colors. A small amount of light colored acrylic yarn (leftover odds and ends are fine!) Scissors Stitch markers (not the ring-type, the type that clip close like safety pins) A bag to carry your project materials in (a shopping bag is fine) You will need to purchase additional skeins of yarn and additional hooks in other sizes for projects as the class progresses, but we will discuss that in class. Stores frequently sell kits with a range of crochet hook sizes, which may save you a bit on the cost of the individual hooks. If you find such a kit that covers the size range from H through L (possibly with additional sizes thrown in), it would be a good investment.

This class will help you build a well-behaved dog you can confidently take anywhere and introduce to anyone. You’ll learn both the theory behind how dogs learn—so you can successfully handle challenges outside the classroom—and practical skills for everyday life, including polite greetings and walking nicely on a leash. We’ll also introduce behaviors such as leave it, stay, come, no jumping and more. For dogs ages 8 weeks and older and their adult handlers. Registration includes one dog and up to two adults. Please bring your dog’s vaccination records to class. Please note: The first class is a people-only lecture; leave your dog at home for the first session.

Come join us and make your own fall centerpiece floral arrangement. We will use a variety of seasonal blooms and fresh greenery. No experience necessary! We’ll talk through some basic designs and then it’s up to you to see where your creativity takes you! Please bring a pair of floral clippers or a sharp pair of scissors.

Lawn care can be expensive and confusing, but a few simple tips and techniques can go a long way toward creating a healthy, beautiful yard. We will cover a wide range of topics, including watering, fertilizing and weed identification. In addition, we will discuss how to prepare your lawn for the cold winter months ahead so it can return healthy, green, and thriving in the spring.

While fall is often overlooked as a planting season, it is actually one of the best times to add new native perennials to your landscape. Garden centers frequently offer great end-of-season deals, and the cooler temperatures combined with fall rains create ideal conditions for strong root growth. Planting in the fall gives perennials time to establish before winter, setting them up for a healthy and vibrant start the following spring.
