Plant Exchange! 9:00-11:30
We are dedicating this event to our dear friend,
Beda Trenning Helms, who entered her
heavenly home on September 10. She was a
great friend to the museum and her artistic
abilities impacted many. She was a Master
Gardener and was always at our plant
exchanges! She was a true friend, and we will
all miss her very much!
We will have Master Gardeners on site and
door prizes! So please come and share with us
and get some great new plants! The drawing
will be at 11:30! (you bring plants, you get
plants or you donate, you get a plant!)
October 15 Art Class with Amy Thomas, a
retired art teacher. 10:00-12:00.
October 31 is Halloween
The origin of Halloween can be traced to an
ancient festival called Samhain meaning
Summer’s End. This was a sacred
festival celebrated by the ancient Celts and
Druids in the British Isles. It marked the end of
the harvest and the start of a new year!
The ancient Celts believed that the veil between
the worlds of the living and the dead was at its
thinnest during Samhain. This had positive
benefits, as it was an ideal time to consider the
dead, communicate with the deceased, and to
divine the future. Learn more about this ancient
calendar’s ”Quarter Days and Cross-Quarter
Days” and why we celebrate holidays the way
we do!
