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 Sept. 15
Make the most of the cool break this week – and get things done. Your garden needs you!
* Now is the time to plant for fall. The warm soil will get cool-season veggies off to a fast start.
* Keep harvesting tomatoes, peppers, squash, melons and eggplant.
* Compost annuals and vegetable crops that have finished producing.
* Cultivate and add compost to the soil to replenish its nutrients for fall and winter vegetables and flowers.
* Fertilize deciduous fruit trees.
* Plant onions, lettuce, peas, radishes, turnips, beets, carrots, bok choy, spinach and potatoes directly into the vegetable beds.
* Transplant cabbage, broccoli, kale, Brussels sprouts and cauliflower as well as lettuce seedlings.
* Sow seeds of California poppies, clarkia and African daisies.
* Transplant cool-weather annuals such as pansies, violas, fairy primroses, calendulas, stocks and snapdragons.
* Divide and replant bulbs, rhizomes and perennials.
* Dig up and divide daylilies as they complete their bloom cycle.
* Divide and transplant peonies that have become overcrowded. Replant with "eyes" about an inch below the soil surface.
* Late September is ideal for sowing a new lawn or re-seeding bare spots.
