SUMMARY:Creating Beautiful Butterfly Bracelets
DESCRIPTION:@ 			\n			\n							 \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRegister Here\n\n$45 Non-Member / $36 Member \n\n\n\n\nCreate a sparkling butterfly bracelet to remind of their beauty all year round.  Silver finish\, made to fit your size.  All materials provided\, no previous experience required. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nInstructor \nDee Taube\n\n\nI have always loved art\, so while growing up I took all the art classes that were offered in school. I was drawn to art beyond being content to just appreciate it\, but during my working career making time for art seemed a luxury to be put on hold for the future. Somehow I found jewelry making and fell in love with it. It enabled me to work with color\, design\, and texture\, it was a great stress-reliever\, an outlet for my creativity\, and it nurtured my soul. When I became a member of an artists’ co-op in Colorado Springs\, I was constantly admiring the work created by the glass artists there\, and one day one of them offered to teach me how to fuse glass. I was hooked. Creating fused glass art has taught me to appreciate all art even more than I did before. It is always a learning experience. But when everything goes right\, the end result brings me joy and nurtures my soul\, as I always hope it will for those who see my art. Learning\, enjoying and creating art is an ongoing journey. Each new piece guides its own design and helps me grow as an artist. I love it \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRefund & Cancelation Policy\nNo refund will be issued less than 15 days prior to any Community Class.

SUMMARY:The Mysterious\, Magical World of Moths
DESCRIPTION:@ 			\n			\n							 \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRegister Here\n\n$30 Non-Member / $24 Member \n\n\n\n\nJoin the Garden as we celebrate the 12th annual National Moth Week\, exploring the incredible diversity\, intriguing biology\, and importance of moths. About 10 times more diverse that their butterfly cousins\, moths are often dismissed as drab nocturnal pests. That is wrong! While some species are not brightly colored and a small minority of moths do things as caterpillars we wish they wouldn’t do\, many moths are stunningly colored and beautifully patterned.  Moths are important in most ecosystems as pollinators\, herbivores\, and food for other animals.  We will also introduce the pastime of mothing. Join for a look at these wondrously diverse\, beautiful\, important animals. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nInstructor \nJeff Babson\n\n\nJeff Babson is an all-around naturalist\, with particular interest in birds\, butterflies\, moths\, beetles and dragonflies.  \nOwner of Sky Island Tours\, an environmental education and eco-tour company\, Jeff has led birding tours for the Tucson Botanical Gardens\, Pima County Department of Natural Resources\, Parks and Recreation\, Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum\, and several birding festivals in southern Arizona (Wings over Willcox\, Southwest Wings\, Tucson Birding and Nature Festival). He lives in Vail with his wife and two children. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRefund & Cancelation Policy\nNo refund will be issued less than 15 days prior to any Community Class.
