Children and their parents or caregivers collaborate during a morning of healthy and fun activities. A snack in sealed packaging will be served. \nThe program is free for members and only $5 for nonmembers\, but space is limited. Registration is required\, so we know how many supplies to provide. Please call 904-355-4224 if your child cannot attend\, so we can allow those on the waiting list to take part. \nBecome a member today and get a BIG discount! \n\nEach registration includes one parent and child. \n\nFree for Garden Club members | $5 for nonmembers \nGreat volunteer opportunity: Sign up here! \n\n\nRESERVE YOUR SPACE

SUMMARY:Horticulture Corner: Throwing Shade
DESCRIPTION:REGISTER NOWIf you think nothing pretty grows in the shade\, you’re playing the wrong game. Join Master Gardener Juliet Johnson as she explains how color\, texture\, and movement can delight the eye in a shade garden while offering respite to a weary soul. Shade gardens are where we gardeners can spread our wings creatively. They can be good fun and extremely successful without blowing the budget—especially in our USDA zone of 9A\, where the propagation is easy! \nJuliet Johnson has killed more plants than the average Floridian. She has learned through expensive experience how to garden far away from her native United Kingdom. She is eternally grateful to the University of Florida and the Duval County Extension Office for their wisdom and patience as she has slowly learned how to create lush\, exciting garden spaces. Juliet is the “bed head” for both the shade garden in Walter Jones Historical Park and the pineapple garden at Mandarin Garden Club. Succulents’ magical propagation have captured her heart of late\, while struggling with cut flowers is an ongoing adventure. \nThis program will be offered in-person at the Garden Club and simultaneously on Zoom. Masks are optional for those who are fully vaccinated against COVID-19 but are recommended to help protect everyone. Those who are unvaccinated should wear masks; the Garden Club appreciates your cooperation. \nThe program is free and open to the public. \nREGISTER NOW

SUMMARY:Horticulture Corner: Mad for Mushrooms
DESCRIPTION:REGISTER NOWJoin Tim Armstrong of Eat Your Yard Jax as he empowers you to grow your own backyard mushrooms. Armstrong has studied the varieties that grow best in Northeast Florida and shares his extensive experience gained from training programs around the country. Learn how to grow varieties like shiitake and oyster mushrooms and the seasons when they grow best. \nEat Your Yard Jax is a family-run farm specializing in edible landscape and garden plants and practicing organic principles and sustainable agriculture. The farm uses composting\, vermiculture\, rainwater reclamation\, aquaponics\, chicken production for a manure source\, and mushroom production from waste wood reclamation as part of its sustainable practices. \nArmstrong’s family has lived in North Florida since Florida became a state. They operated a trading post\, post office\, and steamboat stop on the Apalachicola River for almost 100 years. Armstrong grew up on Jacksonville’s westside and worked in several nurseries as a young man. He returned to the nursery business in 2007. After he met the folks at the Beaches Green Market\, he expanded the edible component of his business. He enjoyed sharing the market experience with his children and hearing stories of urban agriculture success—and failure—from customers. After volunteering at the North Florida School of Special Education’s gardens\, Armstrong studied at Growing Power in Milwaukee\, Wisconsin\, with Will Allen. The training helped Berry Good Farms to grow out of NFSSE’s small garden into the microbusiness training model it is today. \nThis program will be offered in-person at the Garden Club and simultaneously on Zoom. Masks are optional for those who are fully vaccinated against COVID-19 but are recommended to help protect everyone.
