Join this sweet community of nature enthusiasts for our monthly crafting class sure to warm the heart and bring a smile to your face!
 
Join us for our March EcoArts Craft Night in the cozy Glenwild Garden Center greenhouse as we transform ordinary stones into small works of art meant to spread a little light in the world.

Using paint, inspirational words or melted crayon color to create beautiful tie-dye effects, you’ll create stones that can be placed in a garden, along a trail, or somewhere unexpected to bring a smile to someone who finds them.

Keep some for yourself as a reminder to pause and breathe … and release others into the world as a tiny ripple of kindness.

These classes are relaxed, welcoming, and perfect for beginners — no artistic experience needed.  Just come ready to create, connect, and enjoy a cozy evening surrounded by plants and good company.

All supplies included.

Class Cost:  $20

Must be 16 years or older to participate.

Dandelion Dreams
~ "Picked" and Preserved ~

Tuesday, April 28, 2026, 6:30 pm

104 Glenwild Ave., Bloomingdale, NJ


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.
