What's Happening

Events at Colonial

A few times a year the garden center turns into something more than a place to buy plants. Open houses, hands-on workshops, and evenings under the lights. Everyone is welcome, and most of it is free.

Fall Workshops

Build a fall planter or a pumpkin arrangement and take it home

September 19, 26, 27 and October 1, 2026

10 class times to choose from

Classes are $60 to $75, some sessions are free. RSVP required.

Sit down with the Jesse Jeanne’s team and build something you take straight home. The Pumpkin Floral Class turns a real pumpkin into a centerpiece, and the Fall Planter Workshop sends you out with a finished container for the porch. Everything you need is supplied. Seats are limited and these fill up, so book ahead.

Every fall workshop date

  • Every material supplied, you just show up
  • Step-by-step help from the Jesse Jeanne’s design team
  • You leave with the finished piece the same day
  • Several class times to choose from, including the Mums & Moonlight evening

The September 26 and 27 classes fall during the Fall Open House weekend, so you can make a day of it.

Holiday Open House

Returns each holiday season

The lot fills with fresh-cut Fraser firs, Douglas firs, and blue spruces, and the shop turns over to wreaths, garland, poinsettias, and hundreds of custom holiday planters. It is the weekend the season officially starts around here.
