It’s tea time, Sacramento style.
This weekend, the Camellia City Porcelain Artists will host its 32nd annual show and fall tea at Shepard Garden and Arts Center in McKinley Park. Admission and parking are free.
From 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. this Saturday and Sunday, Oct. 14 and 15, patrons are invited to sip tea, enjoy snacks and browse the show, packed with beautiful hand-painted creations.
“You are invited to view the art of traditional and creative works of hand-painted porcelain from local artists,” says the club. Honored artist for the event will be Linda Janzen, whose work will be featured.
Take home some finished pieces -- as well as what’s needed to start this creative hobby.
“Supplies will be available for purchase,” says the club. In addition, a Christmas tree fully decorated with hand-painted ornaments will be raffled off. Patrons will receive tickets for door prizes and a free raffle for a painter’s supply basket.
Interested in learning about ceramics and porcelain painting? This is the place. Watch artists at work; they’ll answer questions, too.
Shepard Center is located at 3330 McKinley Blvd., Sacramento, in McKinley Park.

Garden Checklist for week of Oct. 6
Get ready to get to work! Cooler weather is headed our way mid-week.
* Clean up the summer vegetable garden and compost disease-free foliage.
* Harvest pumpkins and winter squash.
* October is the best month to plant trees, shrubs and perennials.
* Before planting, add a little well-aged compost and bone meal to the soil, but hold off on other fertilizers until spring. Keep the transplants well-watered (but not wet) for the first month as they become settled.
* Dig up corms and tubers of gladioli, dahlias and tuberous begonias after the foliage dies. Clean and store in a cool, dry place.
* Treat azaleas, gardenias and camellias with chelated iron if leaves are yellowing between the veins.
* Now is the time to plant seeds for many flowers directly into the garden, including cornflower, nasturtium, nigella, poppy, portulaca, sweet pea and stock.
* Plant seeds for radishes, bok choy, mustard, spinach and peas.
* Plant garlic and onions.
* Set out cool-weather bedding plants, including calendula, pansy, snapdragon, primrose and viola.
* Reseed and feed the lawn. Work on bare spots.
