Dig into some holiday gardening cheer with this hands-on workshop at Green Acres. Learn how to create a super-cute ornament-themed container garden to take home and keep – or give this holiday season. (The workshop makes a nice gift, too.)
Set for 10 a.m. next Saturday, Dec. 16, the “Holiday Ornament-Themed Create Class” will be offered at six Green Acres Nursery & Supply locations: Auburn, Citrus Heights, Elk Grove, Folsom, Rocklin and Roseville. (At last check, the Roseville workshop was sold out.)
Make sure to sign up in advance. Space is limited to 20 people per location, except Auburn, which is limited to only 10. Classes will be held indoors.
The $30 (plus tax) class fee includes a German 8-inch clay pot, three plants, the ornament of your choice, indoor potting soil, decorative pebbles, moss and expert instruction.
“Our experienced garden gurus will guide you in creating a unique pot-up featuring houseplants such as Selaginella (and) Hypoestes, and a holiday ornament of your choice, all styled in a German clay pot,” say the organizers. “Not only will you leave with a beautiful new pot-up, but you’ll also learn care tips. A fun project for holiday gifting!”

Garden Checklist for week of July 21
Your garden needs you!
* Keep your vegetable garden watered, mulched and weeded. Water before 8 a.m. to reduce the chance of fungal infection and to conserve moisture.
* Feed vegetable plants bone meal, rock phosphate or other fertilizers high in phosphate to stimulate more blooms and fruiting. (But wait until daily high temperatures drop out of the 100s.)
* Don’t let tomatoes wilt or dry out completely. Give tomatoes a deep watering two to three times a week.
* Harvest vegetables promptly to encourage plants to produce more. Squash especially tends to grow rapidly in hot weather. Keep an eye on zucchini.
* Pinch back chrysanthemums for bushy plants and more flowers in September.
* Remove spent flowers from roses, daylilies and other bloomers as they finish flowering.
* Pinch off blooms from basil so the plant will grow more leaves.
* Cut back lavender after flowering to promote a second bloom.
* It's not too late to add a splash of color. Plant petunias, snapdragons, zinnias and marigolds.
* From seed, plant corn, pumpkins, radishes, winter squash and sunflowers.
