The good folks from The Home Depot are coming at 11:30 this morning and again at 1 P.M. to lead a kids’ potting and building workshop.  You do need to sign up ahead of time, so hurry over to their booth as soon as you arrive–space is limited!  The activity takes about 30 minutes.  But even if the workshop is full when you get there, don’t despair.   Local Home Depot stores offer even more kids’ workshops, and they’d be glad to give you details.  While your kids learn how to use tools safely, they make fun, practical things like bird feeders, tool boxes, and bug houses (okay–maybe a bug house falls more under the fun than practical category).  Just click here for more information, or ask at your local Home Depot store: Home Depot Kids Workshops.

Look for this friendly lion at the flower show today, too.

roar----this lion marks the entrance to the kids' play area

He’s guarding the entrance to a kids’ play and exploration area.  Don’t you love his fuzzy green collar?

Okay for now….check back with me later.  We’ll have more to tell you before the show closes for 2009 at 4 o’clock today!

cheers,

Lynn
