“Join Nina of Right Side Hand in making a stunning dried flower Thanksgiving table runner and mini bouquets for dinner plat décor,” say the organizers. “You will be using local Yolo County dried flowers including botanicals from the Farm at Park Winters.
“Nina also will be sharing some tips and tricks on how to save your table runner and other dried flower décor so they can be enjoyed in the coming years,” they add.
Each guest will create a garland – 18 to 24 inches long – using dried sunflowers, ornamental grasses and other favorites. Class fee is $125 and includes materials and instruction. Take home your garland and bouquets to decorate your own holiday table or share with family and friends.
Park Winters, a countryside retreat with gardens dating back to the mid-1800s, is now at its fall finest. In addition to this workshop, Park Winters offers garden tours on Saturdays and pick-your-own-bouquet days in November. See website calendar for details.

Garden Checklist for week of Oct. 13
Our break in the heat has arrived. Time to get planting!
* October is the best month to plant perennials in our area. Add a little well-aged compost and bone meal to the planting hole, but hold off on other fertilizers until spring. Keep the transplants well-watered (but not wet) for the first month as they become settled.
* 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.
* 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.
* Clean up the summer vegetable garden and compost disease-free foliage.
* Harvest pumpkins and winter squash.
