A fun activity for plant-lovers, this ancient form of Bonsai is done by encasing a plant’s roots in special soil and wrapping it in moss (no pot)! Kokedama may be displayed in a decorative saucer or bowl or suspended from the ceiling for a unique, vertical look. This hands-on class will take you through the steps to create one ball using the plant of your choice and also teach you how to care for it after you take it home. Pre-registration is required; $45 class fee covers materials used during the workshop. Extra Kokedama can be purchased and made for $35 each.

Fresh berries from Oregon’s Willamette Valley are delicious and easy to grow. Among our famous cane berries are: Marionberry, Boysenberry, Loganberry, and raspberry.

The Environmental Learning Center at Clackamas Community College is once again offering a free series of Zoom classes on wildlife-and-water-friendly gardens.

Back by popular demand, this series will provide tips on how to garden with less water, manage too much stormwater, and generally provide a healthier habitat for birds, pollinating insects, and more. Each week, a different expert presenter will share their experience, stories, and best practices. There will be plenty of time for discussion, so questions are encouraged.
