Dandelion Dreams
~ "Picked" and Preserved ~
** RESCHEDULED **
Tuesday, May 5, 2026, 6:30 pm
Glenwild garden center

Join this sweet community of nature enthusiasts for our monthly crafting class sure to warm the heart and bring a smile to your face!
Two crafts in one — celebrating the entire life of a dandelion!
In this EcoArts Craft Class, we’ll create two beautiful jars inspired by one of nature’s most magical plants — the dandelion.
First, we’ll make a Sunshine Bouquet — bright yellow yarn flowers arranged in a mason jar, just like a handful of dandelions picked from a sunny field. These cheerful blooms will never wilt and will bring a little sunshine to your home all year long.
Then, we’ll create an Everlasting Wish Jar — a real dandelion puff, preserved forever, displayed upside down on a natural stem with a soft mossy base. The kind you used to hold, close your eyes, and blow into the wind to make a wish… except this one you get to keep.
This class is a gentle, creative evening that captures both the flower and the wish — a little bit of sunshine and a little bit of magic in two small jars.
As always, EcoArts is about slowing down, making something beautiful, and enjoying a cozy, creative night together.

Scent & Memory
~ The Hidden Language of Essential Oils ~
wednesday, May 13, 2026, 7:00 Pm
West Milford, NJ
Have you ever caught a scent that instantly took you somewhere… a moment, a person, a feeling you didn’t even realize was still there?
In this immersive wellness class, we’ll explore the fascinating connection between scent, memory and emotion — and how your sense of smell speaks directly to the most powerful, memory-holding part of your brain.
You’ll discover how certain aromas can shift your mood, calm your nervous system, and support memory, focus, and mental clarity. Together, we’ll create your own “memory anchors”—simple, beautiful scent pairings you can use to evoke calm, joy, confidence, or sharpen recall when you need it most.
This is more than a class… it’s a sensory experience, creating a deeper sense of connection to your senses and a new way to support your emotional and cognitive well-being, naturally.
🕒 Length: 90 minutes
💲 Cost: $1 placeholder, which will be donated to restore and support the Monarch Butterfly's winter home
