Gardening class Wednesday: how to identify plants
by Rachel Kudrick 16 Aug '17

16 Aug '17

Have you ever been out walking and seen a really cool plant? You think it's beautiful, or strange, or unique. Maybe you'd even enjoy having one in your yard. But what the heck IS it??? How will you know what to ask the nursery/florist/landscaper/greenhouse people for? So, short of stealing it (bad idea!), or possibly getting cuttings, there's just no way for you to have it. Well, what if you could go through a relatively simple process to determine exactly what it is your looking at? Trees, shrubs, ferns, wildflowers... What if you could figure out their names on the spot, or by taking a few specific pictures to reference later? You can!!!!! In tonight's class, we'll work on exactly this. We will identify some plants from twig or leaf & flower samples. You can even bring your own! You will leave with some reference guides to help you at home, too! (Note: this is NOT a houseplant ID class.) Class is 6:30-8:30 pm, and costs $10/person. No cost for those on limited incomes. Everyone will leave with some color sheets to help in plant ID, as well as a tree ID guide. There will be a limited number of other guides--fern, wildflower, winter tree ID--at a cost of $5 each. Call or text for location. Rachel 412-251-9759

seeking furniture repair, refinishing, reupholstery recommendations
by Deb Polk 15 Aug '17

15 Aug '17

We're looking for recommendations for businesses that repair, refinish, or reupholster furniture. It's fine if a business addresses only one aspect as long as the business does it well. Thanks, Deb Polk "The many, of whom none is individually an excellent man, nevertheless can, when joined together, be better than those [the excellent few], not as individuals but all together, just as potluck dinners can be better than those provided at one man's expense. For, there being many, each person possesses a constituent part of virtue and practical reason, and when they have come together, the multitude is like a single person, yet many-footed and many-handed and possessing many sense-capacities, so it is likewise as regards to its multiplicity of character and its mind. This is why the many judge better in regard to musical works and those of the poets, for some judge a particular aspect, while all of them judge the whole." Aristotle, book 3 of the Politics (1281a40-b10)
