From crafts to baking and other fun projects in between, there's bound to be something of interest for everyone! At a workshop on Saturday, June 11, 2016, participants learned how to create planters containing edible flowers and plants. What a great way to keep healthy and delicious foods close by - and they sure look beautiful too!
