Hello Everyone

***postponed due to covid 19 restrictions. Will be rescheduled, check back.

Back by popularity,…Studio 22, tomato workshop. Only this time it will be the spring season version instead of the fall. This time we will focus on the beginning of a tomato in the garden.

Special guest speaker, Chuck Rutherford who is Beth’s Dad and the president of the Fayetteville Farmers Market is going to bring a variety of his tomato plants ready to transfer into your own garden. He will share his passion and knowledge for these favorite fruits. You can ask questions to assure your best success a fruitful tomato harvest. Plan to purchase an assortment of these plants that he starts from seeds, for yourself or a friend. He will have plenty to choose from.

Some of the varieties he will have available are: Giant Belgium, Caspian Pink, Brandy Wine, Bumblebee purple, Beefy Boy, Big Boy, and Parks Whopper.

Let’s not forget about watercolor painting too. After the education on tomatoes I will lead you in a watercolor painting of these garden favorites.

No experience needed. Come as you are with curiosity and permission to express your creativity. Process over perfection!

I hope you will join me for this creative and educational opportunity with me and my dad.

sincerely,

Beth
