The Holiday Porch Pot Workshop brought the beauty of the season to life. Creativity, fresh greenery, and community came together in festive style. After selling out in just 23 minutes, participants gathered in the hoop house to transform their containers into stunning winter displays using harvested magnolia, pine, holly, and other natural accents. With guidance from Extension Master Gardener℠ Volunteers, each porch pot became a unique expression of seasonal charm and hands-on learning.

The Brunswick County Botanical Garden buzzed with energy as more than 2,900 pollinators were counted during our Pollinator PLUS Workshop, held August 22–23. From carpenter bees to butterflies, attendees gained hands-on training, participated in the census, and even took home pollinator-friendly plants to support their own gardens.
