INTRODUCTION TO PRESSED BOTANICALS

Saturday, October 12

Award-winning botanical artist Beth Murphy demonstrates the process of pressing plant material like leaves, flower petals and grasses and discusses basic collage design elements. Participants will work with pressed botanical materials supplied by the instructor to form a small collage on a card or bookmark to take home.

After the workshop on Saturday, from 12:30 to 3:00 PM, Beth will hold a free and open to the public “Meet and Greet the Artist” session; the session will be held in our gallery where her work is being exhibited. Please join her to find out more about her work!

MARGARET ROACH NONSTOP PLANTS; A GARDEN FOR 365 DAYS

Sunday, October 27

Expressions commonly heard each September like “the season’s almost over” don’t sit well with Margaret Roach. She has worked for more than 25 years to make her garden in the Hudson Valley-Berkshires area a visual treat every day of the year. Meet the plants and the philosophy that make it happen, delivered with a dose of “horticultural how-to and woo-woo.”

Ms. Roach’s book “A Way to Garden”, originally released in 1998, has now been fully updated for the just released 21st Anniversary edition and will be available for signing.

This program is eligible for 1.5 Rutgers Master Gardener CEU’s.
