succulent balsamics & olive oils, worldly spice blends, gorgeous orchids, weird candy, fun classes, private parties, events, and fresh ideas

We know that there are still 8 more weeks till Christmas and we haven't even finished with Halloween, so we apologize for jumping feet first into Christmas.

We've been diligently finalizing our Christmas class schedule and wanted to let you know that all of our Christmas classes and dates are now available on our websites. We are now accepting registration for all of our classes.

Thinking about the holiday season, we have lots of new ideas (and a few old ones). We can't get them all into a single newsletter so we'll be sending another newsletter in a week.

Stay tuned.

Once again this year we are offering a succulent Christmas pot class, and we've chosen a variety of dates at both the acreage and at Avalon. But this year it doesn't matter which location you choose or which date you attend, you can choose to make any of the 3 styles of Christmas pots in the photos below.

All 3 styles of pots are gorgeous, and once they receive your artistic succulent planting expertise, they'll be ready as your Christmas and New Year's table centrepieces, or to place under the tree of a special person in your life.

If you're looking for a unique gift that you can't get anywhere else, then give this class as a gift!

If you prefer to set up a private class for you and your friends/family, we can do that too. Just email us at: solargardenclasses@gmail.com.

We think we may have had as much fun creating and concocting our newest sangria mix as our willing and eagar taste-testers did sampling it. (One friend says it goes down so smoothly that it could get him in trouble lol.) It's our 2 favourite Xmas flavours in one spot - cranberry + pomegranate.

We know that parents shouldn't have favourites, but we kinda feel like this is the most special of all our sangria mixes yet. It's so versatile! Mix it with wine or club soda or use as a mix for cocktails with vodka, white rum, gin or tequila. If you prefer a warm winter drink, mix with brandy.

You can pick up the mix at Avalon beginning this Saturday or out at our acreage when attending a class or your Christmas party.

Every time you buy a bottle of delish balsamics and/or extra virgin olive oils, get your card punched.

When you've bought 9 bottles, we'll give you the 10th one FREE and a new reward card.

Turn THIS..............................................Into THIS:

...so the next time you're at our Avalon shop, have a gander. You don't see them blooming very often, so take a look.

Stay tuned for our next issue next week where we have a very BIG surprise to share.

Roger, Chris and Dexy (and on Saturday we'll be adding 3 more)!
