Ginger, Hibiscus, Taro, Turmeric…Whether you harvest the stem, leaf, root, or flower, adding tropical edibles to the garden allows the temperate gardener-cook to work with the freshest flavors possible in an adventurous kitchen.

Willburn is the author of Tropical Plants and How to Love Them (Cool Springs Press, 2021) and Big Dreams, Small Garden (Skyhorse Publishing, 2017). As a regular contributor to Better Homes and Gardens, The American Gardener, GardenRant, and other digital and print magazines, she has been a newspaper columnist for over a decade and is the recipient of several Gold and Silver Media Awards from Garden Communicators International (formerly GWA).

Create unique glass art and bring the garden inside to enjoy year round. Using a 8x8” piece of white glass as a base, learn how to create a flower or garden image by placing small glass embellishments. You will have a big selection of materials to use in creating your design so it reflects your individual style. Your final design will be fired in a kiln and available for pick up at Olbrich. Class fee includes base shapes, embellishments, and kiln firing. Larger precuts will be available for purchase. Please bring glasses and wear long pants and close-toed shoes.
