Veteran Master Gardeners Marilynn Elliott and Tanya Unruh will share ideas for holiday décor and gifts for the home garden at noon on Thursday, Dec. 14, in the county commissioner’s meeting room of the Clallam County Courthouse, 223 E. Fourth St., Port Angeles.

Elliott will demonstrate how to creatively transform ordinary gardening items into gifts, not all necessarily holiday themed, but something for year-around use. She will show how ordinary stones, flower pots, and shovels can be repurposed as attractive yard art.

A Master Gardener since 2003, Elliott has spearheaded several Petals and Pathways Home Garden Tours and her garden was featured on the 2013 tour. She has received the Master Garden of the Year and the Golden Trowel Lifetime Achievement Awards.

Unruh will illustrate how to use materials from the garden for holiday decorating and for gardening gifts for both the holiday season and year-round. She will share ideas for gifting seeds, seedlings, bulbs, pressed or dried flowers, and garden tools and supplies.

Unruh, a Master Gardener volunteer since 2013, has designed unique artistic, thematic settings for her home garden, which was on the 2015 Petals and Pathways Home Garden Tour.

This presentation wraps up the 2017 Green Thumb Garden Tips Brown Bag series. The 2018 season begins Jan. 25, with a presentation on pruning blueberry bushes by Jeannette Stehr-Green.

Attendees may bring a lunch. The presentations are free and open to the public. For more information, call 360-565-2679.
