Thanks to all of the talented basket weavers who attended Sunday's class. Your baskets came out so beautiful! We hope to see you at the next classes we will offer in the Fall with Joan at the Piney Run Nature Center.

Sunday we had the last class of the spring season at Piney Run Nature Center in Sykesville, MD. 3/4 of the class were NEW weavers! I was so impressed. Eveeryone's baskets turned out just lovely! Lots of fun...lots of learning! Welcome to the Basket Case Club to all the new weavers! Hope to see you again in the fall!

Please keep our critters in mind if you have food to donate.

FREE PLANTS on the Nature Center patio!
We had a successful plant swap yesterday and still have some plants available on the Nature Center patio. Please stop by to see if you can provide a home for some of these. There are also a few snake plants inside the Nature Center, but you'll have to wait for those until the Nature Center opens back up on Wednesday. And a sincere thanks to everyone who donated plants, answered questions and to all who stopped by!
