Studded with succulents, the jewelry box garden features a pot within a pot and plenty of bling.
“Our experienced garden gurus will lead you through the process of crafting a one-of-a-kind pot arrangement inspired by a jewelry box,” says Green Acres. “Participants will combine a sleek white cube planter adorned with an array of delightful succulents and decorative glass elements. As a finishing touch, we'll add a stunning gemstone jewelry tree crafted by the talented local artist, Giddy Glass. We also invite participants to bring their own small trinkets from home to add to their pot-ups.”
In addition to supplies, get expert instruction. “We’ll guide you through the steps to create a captivating pot arrangement and share valuable insights on how to nurture and maintain it,” Green Acres adds. “Bring along a companion and immerse yourself in the joy of getting your hands in the soil.”
Class fee is $55 plus tax, and includes: a 7-inch white cube pot (with attached saucer); seven assorted succulents; 4-inch cube cache pot; gemstone jewelry “tree” by Sacramento-based artist Amy Graf of Giddy Glass; exotic decorative glass; plus all planting materials.

Dig In: Garden Checklist
For week of Nov. 26:
Concentrate on helping your garden stay comfortable during these frosty nights – and clean up all those leaves!
* Irrigate frost-tender plants such as citrus in the late afternoon. That extra soil moisture increases temperatures around the plant a few degrees, just enough to prevent frost damage. The exception are succulents; too much water before frost can cause them to freeze.
* Cover sensitive plants before the sun goes down. Use cloth sheets or frost cloths, not plastic sheeting, to hold in warmth. Make sure to remove covers in the morning.
* Use fall leaves as mulch around shrubs and vegetables. Mulch acts as a blanket and keeps roots warmer.
* Stop dead-heading; let rose hips form on bushes to prompt dormancy.
* Prune non-flowering trees and shrubs.
* Clean and sharpen garden tools before storing for the winter.
* Brighten the holidays with winter bloomers such as poinsettias, amaryllis, calendulas, Iceland poppies, pansies and primroses.
* Keep poinsettias in a sunny, warm location – and definitely indoors overnight. Water thoroughly. After the holidays, feed your plants monthly so they’ll bloom again next December.
* Rake and remove dead leaves and stems from dormant perennials.
* Plant spring bulbs. Don’t forget the tulips chilling in the refrigerator. Daffodils can be planted without pre-chilling.
* This is also a good time to seed wildflowers and plant such spring bloomers as sweet peas, sweet alyssum and bachelor buttons.
* Plant trees and shrubs. They’ll benefit from fall and winter rains while establishing their roots.
* Set out cool-weather annuals such as pansies and snapdragons.
* Lettuce, cabbage and broccoli also can be planted now.
* Plant garlic and onions.
* Bare-root season begins now. Plant bare-root berries, kiwifruit, grapes, artichokes, horseradish and rhubarb.
