This was our first class on creating a Christmas Colorbowl. Even though we did it in November, the colorbowl will continue to last well into the spring until it gets warm. Most of the plants used are even perennials and will grow on. The cyclamen, in the spring, can be removed and potted into containers alone then set aside in a cool shady location and watered occasionally. The following September start fertilizing them and watering them regularly (but don’t overwater) and they will come out and bloom again for the winter!

Here are some pictures of this fun event.

This is a great opportunity to do something with the whole family.

Decisions, decisions.

Hope all had a great time. It sure looks like it.
