Gorgeous Gourds Workshop

Add a touch of natural beauty to your autumn home decor! As part of our Maker’s Series, join us at Food + Farm Exploration Center for a creative, hands-on evening crafting unique seasonal centerpieces.
In this guided workshop, you’ll receive two uniquely shaped pumpkins harvested straight from our own Food + Farm vegetable garden. Using a variety of real pressed flowers and decoupage techniques, you'll design and assemble your own botanical patterns to create a pair of gorgeous, one-of-a-kind gourds.
Plus, the Colorful Plate Café will be open during the workshop offering delicious beverages and snacks available for purchase throughout the evening!
