Halloween Celebration

Want to shop for plants, bring the kids, and celebrate Halloween? This is our family-friendly holiday event! Come enjoy creepy snacks and drinks, get a Halloween Tattoo, and dress in your best! We will take photos of all who dress up (unless you’re opposed), and choose a winner that night to receive a $40 Painters Gift Certificate (to be used this fall or next spring). All kids who come in costume get a free ‘halloween plant’ (3.5″ potted plant with toy). Dov from Little Round Farmhouse will also be here at 1pm with her fresh bread for sale! We hope you’ll join the fun:-)

Pumpkin Painting & Jazz Guitar

Come paint pumpkins with us! We decided paint was a tad safer than serrated knives for the kids, but all ages are welcome:-) We provide acrylic paint, brushes and some stencils and decorations, and you can either bring your own pumpkin or buy one of ours. Registration in advance is appreciated so we know how many people to prepare for – you can call, email or let us know in person. (There is no fee, just the cost of a pumpkin if needed.) Make sure you wear old clothes – acrylic paint is pretty permanent!

Whether you’re painting or not, you can enjoy beautiful jazz guitar played by Millard Deutsch from 2-4pm!
