Garden Classes - Garden Classes
Garden ClassesDates: Tuesdays, April 7-October 27Time: 10:00-11:30amWho: Everyone WelcomeFee: FreeInstructor: Alison Saylor and many other Master GardenersLocation: Carlisle Center ParkFriends of Center Park invite you to join Massachusetts Master Gardeners in a “hands-on and how-to” series of classes where creating and maintaining sun and shade gardens and landscapes will be discussed and demonstrated in a real garden setting rather than a classroom. Topics will follow the natural cycle of the season and include designing garden beds, starting seeds, dividing perennials, taking cuttings, making, and using compost, watering, weeding, pruning, trimming, edging, identifying, labeling, and nurturing soil and plants. A new initiative is to expand the Pollinator Garden, plant a willow living fence and native shrubs in our Hügelkultur planting berm, and add to the newly established Woodland Garden beds and pathways. Bring a chair to just sit nearby and observe, if you prefer, as the "hands-on" portion of this class is entirely optional. Please dress for the weather, and bring garden gloves, your favorite bug repellent, hydration for yourself, and clippers if you have them. In case of rain: Class cancelled if pouring rain, but feel free to still attend if just a mild drizzle, as overcast and damp is ideal for gardening weather. For program information, contact Alison Saylor via email at Friends@carlislecenterpark.org.

Garden Classes - Garden Classes
Garden ClassesDates: Tuesdays, April 7-October 27Time: 10:00-11:30amWho: Everyone WelcomeFee: FreeInstructor: Alison Saylor and many other Master GardenersLocation: Carlisle Center ParkFriends of Center Park invite you to join Massachusetts Master Gardeners in a “hands-on and how-to” series of classes where creating and maintaining sun and shade gardens and landscapes will be discussed and demonstrated in a real garden setting rather than a classroom. Topics will follow the natural cycle of the season and include designing garden beds, starting seeds, dividing perennials, taking cuttings, making, and using compost, watering, weeding, pruning, trimming, edging, identifying, labeling, and nurturing soil and plants. A new initiative is to expand the Pollinator Garden, plant a willow living fence and native shrubs in our Hügelkultur planting berm, and add to the newly established Woodland Garden beds and pathways. Bring a chair to just sit nearby and observe, if you prefer, as the "hands-on" portion of this class is entirely optional. Please dress for the weather, and bring garden gloves, your favorite bug repellent, hydration for yourself, and clippers if you have them. In case of rain: Class cancelled if pouring rain, but feel free to still attend if just a mild drizzle, as overcast and damp is ideal for gardening weather. For program information, contact Alison Saylor via email at Friends@carlislecenterpark.org.

Garden Classes - Garden Classes
Garden ClassesDates: Tuesdays, April 7-October 27Time: 10:00-11:30amWho: Everyone WelcomeFee: FreeInstructor: Alison Saylor and many other Master GardenersLocation: Carlisle Center ParkFriends of Center Park invite you to join Massachusetts Master Gardeners in a “hands-on and how-to” series of classes where creating and maintaining sun and shade gardens and landscapes will be discussed and demonstrated in a real garden setting rather than a classroom. Topics will follow the natural cycle of the season and include designing garden beds, starting seeds, dividing perennials, taking cuttings, making, and using compost, watering, weeding, pruning, trimming, edging, identifying, labeling, and nurturing soil and plants. A new initiative is to expand the Pollinator Garden, plant a willow living fence and native shrubs in our Hügelkultur planting berm, and add to the newly established Woodland Garden beds and pathways. Bring a chair to just sit nearby and observe, if you prefer, as the "hands-on" portion of this class is entirely optional. Please dress for the weather, and bring garden gloves, your favorite bug repellent, hydration for yourself, and clippers if you have them. In case of rain: Class cancelled if pouring rain, but feel free to still attend if just a mild drizzle, as overcast and damp is ideal for gardening weather. For program information, contact Alison Saylor via email at Friends@carlislecenterpark.org.

Actually, the earlier the better when it comes to teaching children dining etiquette. Sam Sifton, Food Editor for the New York Times states, “Kids are awesome, and they should be a part of the dining experience,” says Sifton. “Anytime we go to a restaurant, we are entering into a social contract with everyone else in the restaurant. I’m not trying to ruin your good time, and you’re not trying to ruin mine. It’s important to model that behavior, so kids can accept the social contract and have a good time.” Introducing your child to proper table manners and dining etiquette today can help build their confidence in any social setting tomorrow! Topics Include: Why are dining manners important, Approaching and seating at the table, The napkin and its uses, understanding place setting, How to correctly hold silverware, The bread & butter plate, The soup course, Proper use of silverware, American and Continental styles of dining. Passing food at the table, What to do with unwanted food, Appropriate table conversation, Excusing yourself from the table, Other table manners & much more.

Garden Classes - Garden Classes
Garden ClassesDates: Tuesdays, April 7-October 27Time: 10:00-11:30amWho: Everyone WelcomeFee: FreeInstructor: Alison Saylor and many other Master GardenersLocation: Carlisle Center ParkFriends of Center Park invite you to join Massachusetts Master Gardeners in a “hands-on and how-to” series of classes where creating and maintaining sun and shade gardens and landscapes will be discussed and demonstrated in a real garden setting rather than a classroom. Topics will follow the natural cycle of the season and include designing garden beds, starting seeds, dividing perennials, taking cuttings, making, and using compost, watering, weeding, pruning, trimming, edging, identifying, labeling, and nurturing soil and plants. A new initiative is to expand the Pollinator Garden, plant a willow living fence and native shrubs in our Hügelkultur planting berm, and add to the newly established Woodland Garden beds and pathways. Bring a chair to just sit nearby and observe, if you prefer, as the "hands-on" portion of this class is entirely optional. Please dress for the weather, and bring garden gloves, your favorite bug repellent, hydration for yourself, and clippers if you have them. In case of rain: Class cancelled if pouring rain, but feel free to still attend if just a mild drizzle, as overcast and damp is ideal for gardening weather. For program information, contact Alison Saylor via email at Friends@carlislecenterpark.org.
