Last Saturday I went to the Master Gardener's Garden Fair at Bunker Hills Activity Center. The keynote speaker was a landscape design professor and she talked about her yard. I heard her before at another conference and her talk was semi-interesting then and less interesting this time. After that I signed up for a flower pressing class. You can see my efforts above. My instructor was 68 years old but she looked 38 in her tall leather boots and long blonde hair. I used to press flowers when I was in college and I've forgotten all about it. She said I could use modge podge and decorate the tiles in my bathroom or put a border around a doorway. This could be dangerous. Modge podge - I don't think I've heard those two words for 30 years. I'm thinking I might press flowers on my car! My second class was about planting the right plant in the right place. After lunch I signed up for a filo clay fairy garden accessory class - pictures of those will follow once I bake the clay. My final class for the day was cooking with herbs. We got tips on planting and harvesting herbs. We were served dill dip with vegies, a chicken asparagus pasta dish with rosemary, roasted vegetables with french herbs, and basil pesto that gave me bad breath the rest of the day. It was a good class though. Who doesn't love a class where food is served?
