SUMMARY:Compost Happens!
DESCRIPTION:Saturday November 7th\, 2026 | 10am\nChoose-Your-Price: $30 – $5\nThe holidays are a joyous time\, sure\, but they also cause a tremendous amount of food waste. Most of it rides to the landfill in a plastic bag. \nEvery bit of it could be feeding your garden next spring. \nNovember is the month your yard hands you raw material by the wheelbarrow load. In this composting workshop\, horticulturist Adam Bigelow shows you how to turn kitchen scraps and garden waste into rich\, finished compost\, the dark and crumbly stuff your plants will thank you for come planting season. Whether you’re starting from scratch or currently tending a pile that smells a little suspicious\, you’ll leave with a plan that fits your space and your schedule. \nWhat You’ll Learn: \n\nHow to start and maintain a healthy compost pile that stays active and odor-free (yes\, it can be done)\nThe pros and cons of four methods: traditional piles\, compost tumblers\, vermicomposting (worm bins)\, and Bokashi fermentation\nWhat goes in\, what stays out\, and how to balance kitchen scraps with yard waste\nTroubleshooting the usual suspects: soggy piles\, stalled piles\, and piles that attract more critters than you invited\n\nPerfect for home gardeners\, anyone working toward a lower-waste household\, and folks tired of hauling home bagged soil amendments every spring. \nCompost happens\, either in your garden or a Franklin NC landfill. Might as well put it to work. \nAdam Bigelow is a horticulturist\, botanist\, and self-described “plant nerd” based in Cullowhee\, NC\, Adam is the owner of Bigelow’s Botanical Excursions and a planning committee member for the Cullowhee Native Plant Conference. He brings serious field knowledge with a storytelling style that keeps the whole room leaning in. \nReserve Your Spot!

SUMMARY:Holiday Wreath Class
DESCRIPTION:Saturday December 5th\, 2026 | 10am\n$95 per person (includes wreath and materials)\nFew things announce the holidays like the scent of fresh Fraser Fir greeting you at the front door. This December\, you can create your own wreath\, made entirely by your own hand\, from the first sprig to the final bow. For years\, this has been one of our most popular classes! \nYou’ll start with a full\, pre-made 20″ Fraser Fir wreath\, the classic evergreen of the Southern Appalachian high country\, which fills out to a finished size of 32 to 36 inches. From there\, the design is all yours. Choose from a generous spread of natural adornments to layer in texture and color\, then tie it all together with a decorative bow you make with your own hands. \nHave a family ornament\, a sprig from your own backyard\, or a ribbon with a story behind it? Bring it along and work it into your design for a wreath that feels like home. Maria and the team will be by your side with tips\, ideas\, and plenty of inspiration as your wreath takes shape. \nSip hot chocolate and nibble on holiday cookies as you work! Rain\, shine\, or snow\, we have both indoor and outdoor spaces\, so the class goes on despite whatever our mountain weather brings. \nYour $95 covers the Fraser Fir wreath\, decorating materials\, bow supplies\, and holiday treats. \nOur own team member Maria and her merry band of helpers will lead this class. You’ll leave with a beautiful wreath that speaks to you in a way no other holiday decoration ever could. \nTickets Coming Soon!
