Relles Florist offers DIY workshop just in time for Halloween
In a Relles Florist workshop, pumpkins and succulent plants become fun arrangements. Kathy Morrison
Here’s a holiday craft that will keep you smiling long past Halloween: Turn a pumpkin into a succulent garden. Or use a pumpkin as a bowl for a vibrant flower arrangement – a perfect centerpiece for fall gatherings.
The experts at Relles Florist will show you how. At 10 a.m. Saturday, Oct. 29, Relles Florist will host a DIY workshop on pumpkin-based floral crafts.
“Participants will be learning how to make an arrangement in a real pumpkin!” say the hosts. “Participants have the choice between designing a succulent garden or a floral arrangement in their pumpkins.”
All materials (including the pumpkin and flowers or plants) are included. Fee is $50. Children may attend but are limited to one child per adult.
Space is limited, so sign up today. Relles Florist is located at 2400 J St. in Midtown Sacramento.
To register, call 916-441-1478. For any
questions, please contact Colby Relles at sales@rellesflorist.com.

Garden Checklist for week of Feb. 9
Be careful walking or working in wet soil; it compacts easily.
* Keep the irrigation turned off; the ground is plenty wet with more rain on the way.
* February serves as a wake-up call to gardeners. This month, you can transplant or direct-seed several flowers, including snapdragon, candytuft, lilies, astilbe, larkspur, Shasta and painted daisies, stocks, bleeding heart and coral bells.
* In the vegetable garden, plant Jerusalem artichoke tubers, and strawberry and rhubarb roots.
* Transplant cabbage and its close cousins – broccoli, kale and cauliflower – as well as lettuce (both loose leaf and head).
* Indoors, start peppers, tomatoes and eggplant from seed.
* Plant artichokes, asparagus and horseradish from root divisions.
* Plant potatoes from tubers and onions from sets (small bulbs). The onions will sprout quickly and can be used as green onions in March.
* From seed, plant beets, chard, lettuce, mustard, peas, radishes and turnips.
* Annuals are showing up in nurseries, but wait until the weather warms up a bit before planting. Instead, set out flowering perennials such as columbine and delphinium.
* Plant summer-flowering bulbs including cannas, calla lilies and gladiolus.
