Too hot to garden outdoors? Retreat inside for a fun gardening class and take home a special one-of-a-kind garden “treasure.”

Sign up now for the “Miniature Jewelry Box Garden Create Class” at Green Acres Nursery & Supply. The class will be held at 10 a.m. next Saturday, July 22, at all seven Green Acres locations. Advance registration is required with each location limited to 20 participants.

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.

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.
