DECORATING NATURALLY: A class on decorating for fall and winter with natural materials found in your yard will be taught at 6 p.m. Thursday at The Potting Shed, 1717 Devney Drive, Altoona.
This free class will instruct participants on ways that garden and landscaping materials can be used in wreaths, door decorations and table centerpieces.
Call 715-831-4000 to register.
LEAVES IN LASAGNA: Phoenix Community Gardens is looking for bagged leaves for use in its efforts to begin a “lasagna garden” at the public garden site on Forest Street.
Small quantities of bagged leaves collected from your yard can be dropped off at the garden behind the white shed near the on-site composting area, garden organizers said. To donate large quantities of bagged leaves, call 920-680-5215 to make arrangements.
The garden group also is looking for a source of stray or hay.
A lasagna garden is created by layering hay, leaves, compost, cardboard and other organic materials to make a rich soil for planting.
SCARECROW DAYS: Down to Earth Garden Center, 6025 Arndt Lane, is providing straw for people who want to make their own scarecrow.
Straw will be available today, Oct. 6 and 13 at the garden center, south of Eau Claire off Highway 93, but attendees must bring their own clothes, boots and hats for their scarecrows.
Call 715-833-1234 for more details.
