Garden Fever! Nursery is holding an after-hours holiday workshop night tonight from 6-8 pm.

You can shop for gardening gifts or attend workshops on creating your own hand-made holiday gifts including terrariums, winter planters, bulb planting – or try quirky and charming ideas like making a garden poetry box or tiny fairy garden.

Two of the workshops (Linda Beutler on fall and winter arrangements, $40, and Nancy Goldman on "tiny gardens for fairies, frogs and ferns", $30) require pre-registration.

You can also drop off donations for the food bank – canned or packaged goods and produce are all fair game, or enter a raffle for beautiful gifts, to raise money for a new Portland area botanical garden.

WHEN: Thurs Dec 1, 2011, from 6-8 pm (also Thurs Dec 15th, same hours)
