Saturday, September 25th, Shady Lane Greenhouse will host our annual Fall Train Jamboree! Trains, games, outdoor and indoor shopping, and an ice cream social! There will also be food and snacks, sold by some of our favorites at St. John’s Anglican.
Also on Saturday, September 25th, we’ll have a signup and prepayment for our Saturday, October 2nd, Beginning Train Class.
On October 2nd, we’ll have two classes available – limited space in each class, so we ask that you pay in advance. The cost will be a nonrefundable$5 fee per family, and we’re asking that children be accompanied by a grown-up
(no drop offs, please!).
Our teachers, or, “Engineers”, for the event will be members of the
Wisconsin Garden Railroad Society. They’ll be directing discussion topics, such as: explanation of model train scales (comparison of scales and choosing one that’s right for you), controlling a model train, train maintenance, terminology, and a Q&A.
We’ll have 2 classes available, and we hope that they fill up quickly!
Our class times will be 11:00-11:30am, and 1:00-1:30pm. When signing up for the class, please let us know how many children you’ll be attending with, and what their ages are. We will have goody bags for take-home and some more information on starting your own home version of a model railroad. Along with a parent’s survey to fill out after the class.

What’s Up? With Dr. Patti Nagai
The Ins & Outs, Ups and Downs of Houseplant Care:Saturday, October 2nd
10:00-11:00am
Houseplants are beautiful additions to your home, and well known for their air purification qualities, but only if they are healthy and happy. How many houseplants have you watched wither and die? Don’t fret, you’re in good company…
I have learned a lot from my sad mistakes with houseplants. The good news is that we can help you cultivate a green thumb, and have great success growing plants inside.
Join me in a practical and fun discussion of easy-care houseplants. We will go through the selection process to choose the right plant for your home, then re-pot your new green beauty, while discussing appropriate soil mixes, container sizing, soil mixes, watering, fertilization, and pest control. No cost for discussion and Q&A, $30 for the newly repotted houseplant. ($25 for Shady Lane Greenhouse Garden Club Members!) Please call (262) 251-1660 to reserve your spot in the class.
