Daylight Savings Time: Hurrah!! Finally after dark evenings, we will be treated to more sunlight...always a good thing in my life. Remember to turn your clocks ahead one hour on Saturday March 11th before going to bed. Spring ahead!
Spring Flower Show at Olbrich Gardens: Get a taste of spring at the Olbrich Spring Flower Show March 11th-26th from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. daily. Using a culinary theme, the horticulture staff cooked up something special to give visitors a delicious taste of spring.
What's on the menu? Creatively constructed representations of culinary delights using an array of dried plant materials. Furniture, antique kitchen cabinetry, cookbooks, and "plant-able" ware were sourced through collaborations with local businesses and private collectors to create each dining vignette. Featured in the center as the heart of the show: a kitchen display, where the magic of every dining experience begins!
Beekeeping for Beginners: For those with no experience in beekeeping, the class will touch on everything you need to know to get started, including:
- Elementary bee biology
- What about the neighbors?
- What to do about swarming.
- Equipment and protective gear.
- Harvesting the honey and tips on selling.
A lecture-style class with props, pollen tasting, honey sampling and plenty of time for questions.
Classes are held from 9 am - 4 pm. at the Lyman Anderson Agricultural & Conservation Center, 5201 Fenwick Dr. in Madison. Cost is $50. Contact Jeanne Hansen for more information, jeanniealabeannie@yahoo.com
Hope these ideas help you March into Spring, too!
