Do your own workshop with take-home kit

Just because a nursery can’t hold in-person workshops doesn’t mean they can’t teach gardeners new things.
But how? That’s been the challenge for local nurseries as they (along with all businesses) try to reinvent what they do in these times of COVID.
The Secret Garden, Elk Grove’s beloved nursery and garden store, usually fills its summer schedules with all sorts of fun workshops. This month, it’s re-packaged its workshop materials into individual kits for at-home learning.
“Just because we are asked to stay home doesn't mean we can't still have FUN!” writes Jennifer Kahl, the Secret Garden’s owner, on the nursery’s website.
The kits come with instruction – videos of Kahl and her staff creating the project themselves, just like they would during a “normal” workshop.
“Our Workshop Series is currently being modified due to ‘distancing restrictions’ to become Take Home Kits,” Kahl explains. “Along with everything you need to complete the project, you will also be given a link to the video of us making the item and stepping you through the process.
“We have several varieties of kits ready to go, and will work on more in the days ahead. Our goal hasn't changed; we're here to help keep your hands in the dirt and a smile on your face!”
Among the kits ready to go now are a succulent terrarium and succulent potted “bouquet” (each priced at $19.99), a charming miniature garden kit featuring a fairy cottage ($29.99) and two garden mosaic kits ($54 and $65).
Order online and pick up at The Secret Garden, located at 8450 W. Stockton Blvd., Elk Grove.
