RHUBARB LEAF BIRDBATH
1 session............................. Saturday, July 19.............................................
10:00-Noon............................................. $29.82
Create a birdbath that looks like a jungle leaf. Depending on your garden
and your birdbath design, it can have a naturalizing effect, or it can
create a unique garden focal point. In class, you will pick out a rhubarb
leaf and sand-cast it using a cement mixture. When the mixture has dried,
you remove the leaf. What remains is the cement form, now looking like a
leaf, with the veins and the outline intact. Sue Johnson has created her
own birdbath and will help you to do the same. Because of the outdoor
space needed, this class will be held at Sue’s home. She will also provide
the rhubarb and cement. All you need to bring are rubber gloves and a
plastic leaf bag.

This is your special invitation to an extraordinary event, the Victorian
Garden Party. Picture yourself on a warm summer morning, strolling
through a lovely garden, the scents of flowers heavy in the air.
Musicians perform as you relax under shade trees while enjoying tea and
crumpets, scones, fresh and fruit. Laughter drifts across the garden as
groups partake of croquette and lawn bowling. Others may choose to learn
Victorian fancywork such as tatting, ribbon embroidery or making sachets
from delicate rose petals. No garden party would be complete without an
old-fashioned picture to turn the day into a permanent memory. All this
awaits you at the home of Sue Johnson. She encourages you to bring a
friend and step back in time. In fact, we’ll give you a discount for
bringing a friend. So wear your favorite sunbonnet or Gibson Girl hat,
come to the garden and linger as long as you like.
