Scarecrow Making for the Modern Garden

Join horticulturist Danny Cox for a two-hour workshop celebrating fall creativity at the botanical garden. You'll learn about the history and evolution of scarecrows, from their practical origins to today's whimsical garden art, then design and build one that matches your personal style. Basic materials are provided, but you're welcome to bring old clothing, accessories, or other items to add character and personality to your creation. Whether you prefer rustic charm, artistic flair, or something quirky, you'll have guidance throughout the process to bring your vision to life. This class is designed for adults and concludes with you taking home a finished scarecrow ready to brighten your autumn garden. Registration is required in advance through the website. Membership pricing is $57, and non-member admission is $63. Wear close-toed shoes and comfortable clothes you don't mind getting dirty. If time allows, there's a photo opportunity available in the garden, so plan to transport your scarecrow home in your vehicle afterward. If you need accessibility support to participate, reach out to the garden directly before registering.
