What a beautiful spring and eventful time for Ebert’s and the many families that visited and took part in our activities! Thank you to all the kids who decorated the cutest frogs for our frog tree, colored and designed an Ebert’s t-shirt, came out and participated in our Earth Day and Mother’s Day container planting events, and took the time to creatively enter our annual coloring contest!
We look forward to celebrating with you on Thursday, July 9th, as we celebrate 50 years in business! We will have kids coloring an Ebert’s t-shirt offered from 10-2 pm in Kid’s Corner (while supplies last), and storytelling from years past fall field trips at 11 am-11:30 am and 1 pm-1:30 pm in Kid’s Village! Visit our event page to see more details about all the other fun festivities!
Can’t wait to see you all soon!
All your friends at Ebert’s Greenhouse Village
Summer Fun Milk Jug Garden Projects
Got milk? Of course we do! Clean out and recycle your ½ gallon and gallon milk jugs to make the following:
- Watering Cans– Clean and dry the milk jugs. Parents can help hammer a nail through the lid to create the water holes. Label and decorate with Sharpie markers.
- Fairy Garden houses- Cut shapes in the clean and dried milk jug to design windows and doors! Decorate by gluing shells, twigs, gems, or yarn! Kids will be so excited that they created a little house for their fairies!
- Milk Jug Planters- After washing and drying, cut the milk jugs in half to the desired depth. Decorate with paint or markers and plant houseplants or use them outside!
