Create your own outdoor planter during a hands on class with Library Foundation members Kay Abel and Allyson Brunette. They teach recipients how to create a beautiful planter from start to finish. Participants will receive a large planter (red or gray), greens, ribbon, and additional décor options like pinecones and sticks to add to their creation. 50% of the proceeds from this event will directly benefit the Library Interactive Learning Garden. This event will be held outdoors at Hydro Park in Kaukauna, so please dress for outdoor weather. Restroom facilities will be closed for the season. Pre-ordered drinks will be available from 313 Dodge for the event and can be purchased separately. Registered attendees will be sent additional information about this option prior to the event. Sample planter included in promotional photographs. Cost of the class is $85
