Creating Partridge Berry Bowls
Wednesday, November 136:30—7:30 PMMeeting RoomLawrence Library15 Main Street, Pepperell, MA, 01463
A berry bowl is a miniature woodland garden in a glass container, similar to a terrarium. Colonial women would gather woodland plants in late autumn and early winter, arrange them in moss, and place them in a glass vessel. The partridge berry is a key plant in this tradition.
As a child it was a family tradition to make these bowls and give them to family at Thanksgiving...often receiving back the empty bowl from the prior year for the next year. These miniature gardens in a bowl will keep through spring and can then be replanted in your yard. Registration required, class size is limited to 8.
