Natureworks 30th Anniversary Party Weekend!

Saturday, June 1st and Sunday, June 2nd, 2013 We are so excited that this is the week we are celebrating our 30th Anniversary in business! We will be having free workshops all weekend, sales and specials galore, and you can enter to win a $30 gift certificate each day from Thursday through Monday. Saturday, June 1st 9:30-10:30 am Prune Once, Bloom Twice, Workshop in the Garden. June is the time of year when some skilled maintenance can make the difference between a gor- geous and easy to care for late summer/fall garden and an overgrown, boring mess. Find out why Nancy says “if you are not removing tarp loads of vegetation from your garden in June, you are certainly not being brave enough!” 12 noon Peace Pole Dedication. Over 250,000 Peace Poles have been installed all over the world. Join us as we dedicate our new Peace Pole and the garden that surrounds it to celebrate our 30th year in business. 1-2 pm Iris Love Garden Walk. Learn the difference between bearded, Siberian, Japanese, and other types of irises. They all have different care requirements and can be used differently in your gardens. Then, join Nancy as she takes you on tour of the irises in the Natureworks demonstration gardens. Sunday, June 2nd Anniversary Party continues 11-12 pm Make your Yard a Certified Wildlife Habitat. Join Natureworker Diane St John as she explains the process to have your yard become a NWF Certified Wildlife Habitat. There are four things you must have on your property in order to be certified and they are easy to do! Join the growing movement of homeowners who are choosing to dedicate their yards back to wildlife and create beautiful spaces in the process. 1-2 pm Creative Succulent Plantings. Jeff Woodward of Woodward Greenhouses in Chaplin, CT will be here to explain the wonderful world of succulents. He will show us many types of succulents and explain their care and how to propagate them. He will then demonstrate how to plant beautiful succulent creations. Watch as Jeff creates a living wreath, a hypertufa trough and more--all to inspire your creativity. We welcome you to stay and create your own masterpiece with us after Jeff's demonstration. All participants will receive a 10% off discount on all related materials to make here or at home! 518 Forest Road, Northford, CT 06472 203-484-2748 www.naturework.com
