Join us on Saturday, June 13, from 9:30โ€“10:30 AM for a hands-on introduction to succulents with library board member Lori McAllister.

This class will cover the basics of succulent care and planting. Each participant will plant their own succulent to take home, and all supplies will be provided.

Even if you already have a growing collection of houseplants, this class is a great opportunity to join us for our summer reading program and see what all we have going on at the library this summer. Each participant will get a chance to win one of our prizes.

๐Ÿ“ Free to attend
๐Ÿ“ Designed for adults and ages 12+
๐Ÿ“ Pre-registration required by June 10 so we can purchase supplies
