Riverview Has Fresh Flowers for Your Valentine!

A Valentine's Day Ditty for You

Love's not always easy,
Two minds not always one.
I'm dancing in the kitchen while
You march to your own drum.

I cook up veggie burgers,
You make ham and mashed potatoes.
I like acoustic melodies,
Your amps blow like tornados.

Even though we're different,
In many different ways,
You always make me smile
When I'm in a foggy haze.

Even though we're different,
In too many ways to speak of,
I'll always try to show you that
That this is a true and deep love.

Happy Valentine's Day!

Our next Event: Mini Indoor Gardening!

 Our Miniature Indoor Garden Series Event is just around the bend, so we thought a preview of what's in store might inspire you to join us next Saturday, February 9th, from 2-3 for our 2nd workshop of the day entitled "Little Landscapes: Creating Terrariums."
 
I don't know about you, but I get a mean case of the winter blues when I can't dig in the dirt all season long, so making these sweet little landscapes are just what I need for a pick-me-up. A recent study in the Netherlands suggests that gardening can fight stress even better than other relaxing leisure activities; why not try creating an indoor garden and see how good you feel?
 


 

I started with these "ingrediants" for my terrarium:
  • small pebbles
  • activated carbon
  • moss
  • soil
  • a few small plants, one low-growing, one bushy, one with a little height
  • a few larger rocks for decoration
  • a fish bowl for planting in
  • a stick for poking holes in the soil to plant
 
Ta-da! Hey, don't be jealous! Call us at (610) 929-5049 to sign up for our workshop to create your own dazzling work of art.  Hope to see you then!
