  NPA is selling more plants grown in our Propagation Yard at the Bellevue Botanical Gardens. Our previous Shop the Prop online plant sale was such a success, we found room for even more wonderful plants to offer our members. Most of these plants are grown from cuttings and divisions from plants growing in the NPA Border.

  
  

  The Online Store on NPA's website will open on September 13th. Customers must pick up purchased plants at the Prop Yard in the Bellevue Botanical Garden, please plan to carry your purchases 500-700 feet back to your own vehicle, small carts or wagons are OK in the garden.

  Critter Cloche Workshop

  "A  Live Zoom Class"

  6:00 pm - 7:30 pm

  Wednesday, September 30, 2020

  
  

  This was such a popular class, we are putting it on Zoom for everyone to enjoy! These are the wire cloches we are using in the NPA Border at Bellevue Botanical Garden, and they don't just keep the rabbits out but can be a support for floppy perennials, and climbers love them too!

  
  

  After a recorded video demonstrating how the wire cloche is made, there will be a live PowerPoint going into more detail of the techniques and equipment needed for you to make your own cloches to defend your precious perennials from those pesky rabbits! We will be 'live' on your screen so you can get all your questions answered in real time.

  
  

  Included in your registration will be an equipment list and 'recipe' for making cloches, and where to buy what you need.  So if you want to gather the materials before the class... you can join in and make a cloche along with us!

  
  

  After Registration and payment, NPA will email you a Zoom Meeting link with detailed instructions to join the class. Please note you can join from any internet-connected device (PC, phone, tablet), but Zoom links cannot be shared as they allow only one device connection per link.

  
  

  NPA Members - $10

  Non-Members - $20
