SOLAR GARDENS

IMPORTANT NOTICE:

In the spirit of social distancing, for the foreseeable future we will be limiting class enrollment size at the Avalon shop to allow significant distance between attendees. We will limit class size to 4 people in the Avalon shop. However, we will increase the frequency of them. We will also limit the class sizes at the acreage (where we  have lots of space) to insure that there is more than the recommended social distancing space for all attendees. We continue to follow updates and recommendations from Health Canada and the City of Saskatoon. Their directions will guide us in decisions related to our shop and classes moving forward. We vigilinty clean surface areas and items at Avalon every few hours. We have hand sanitizer available for your use and we encourage all people visiting our shop to use hand sanitizer upon entry and exit from the shop. Feel free to wash your hands with soap and water in our washroom. For the foreseeable future, we will suspend sampling of balsamics and food items. As well, we will begin classes at the acreage in May where we have social distancing space o-plenty. We also have closed the restaurant so the MYOP will no longer be available in combination with classes at the acreage. We will reassess the acreage (and Avalon) classes as we advance into May and beyond. Please check back frequently.

We offer a variety of classes at our Avalon shop and at our acreage near Pike Lake throughout the year.

At both locations, we offer public classes (preset dates and times for which you can register individually or as a group) and we can also arrange private classes (for groups of 5 or more).

Some classes (eg. bread baking) are only offered at our acreage, but most classes are available at both locations.

If you have selected a class at the acreage and would like to enjoy a beverage during the class, come a bit early and head to the restaurant bar to order. Our sangria pitchers are very popular and can easily be shared among 4 or 5 people - or not - if you're thirsty! We are fully licensed.

It's SO easy to register for a *PUBLIC CLASS!

Our spring/summer PUBLIC classes run from April to August. Watch this space for our fall/Christmas classes which are held September to Christmas. We can arrange to do PRIVATE classes at both the acreage and Avalon shop anytime of year (see below). Our winter classes are offered in January and February.

To register, first choose a date and class location from the list below. Then click on this link (or the link below) to send us an email. In the subject line write "REGISTER FOR A PUBLIC CLASS" and in the email include your name, phone number, the number of people that will be joining you (if any), the class name, date, location (either acreage OR Avalon).

Sample pictures & descriptions of all of the current class projects can be seen by clicking here.

No need to prepay for the class. You can just pay when you arrive.

*PRIVATE CLASSES can be arranged any day of the week (morning, afternoon or evening) for groups of 5 (up to 120). The private class fee is $5 more per person than the public class fee. If you have less that 5 people in your group, a private class can still be arranged as long as 5 projects are made or purchased. For example, if there are 4 in your group, one person could make 2 projects or one person could buy the demonstration project for a total of 5 purchases. We can arrange a private class through email as well. CLICK HERE and write 'ARRANGE A PRIVATE CLASS' in the subject line.

Consider our Succulent Arrangement Fundraising opportunities.

Are you looking for a fundraising opportunity for your club, charity, group or organization?

If so, talk with us about purchasing bulk succulent arrangements that your club can then resell at a profit.

Depending upon the size of the succulent arrangement purchased from us, you can anticipate 5 to 25 dollars (or more for larger arrangements) profit per arrangement sold.

We often arrange seasonal pots and so seasonal arrangements may be available for bulk purchase (eg. Halloween, Christmas, Thanksgiving...).

You will need to forward proof that you are a bona fide club, charity or organization.

The minimum number of succulent arrangements per bulk sale is 25.
