The Inspired Gardener
March 11th | 11:30 AM-1 PM | Carriage House
For Felder Rushing, gardening is about fun. From listening to all 5 of the senses and connecting with the Earth, Rushing’s philosophy is based on “slow gardening,” low maintenance gardening techniques that allow for time to enjoy the beauty you’ve created.
Felder Rushing, a 10th-generation American gardener, will speak at Goodwood’s 18th annual Garden Symposium present by the Tallahassee Garden Club. Rushing will present a seminar titled “Tough Flowers for Florida Gardeners” incorporating his “Slow Gardening” approach that which allows individuals to “find their personal gardening bliss.” He advocates using all five senses from season to season by “the cultivation of locally adapted plants grown sustainably and shared with others.”
The 18th Annual Goodwood Garden Symposium lecture and lunch will be held 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. Wednesday, March 11th, at Goodwood Museum & Garden’s Carriage House. Tickets are $35 for Goodwood & Garden Club members and $40 for non-members and include lunch. Books will be available for purchase.

Goodwood Tour, Workshop, and Lunch
May 5th | 11:30 AM-3:30 PM | Jubilee Cottage | $60
Get creative with Acrylic Pouring in a demonstration and workshop with Tricia Beall. Each ‘pour’ is unique and just like Forest Gump’s box of chocolates, you never know what your gonna get. You will love this new way of expressing yourself creatively and we dare you to do it once and stop, it is so therapeutic and addictive!
Registration is required, and seating is limited.
Tricia Beall is an artist whose experience includes painting in watercolor, acrylic and oils as well as working with collage and wood. She owned her own gallery which represented Russian Impressionists in Hendersonville, NC and trained and worked in fine art, frame conservation, and restoration. Since her recent discovery of the acrylic pour method of painting, she has turned her entire house into a studio and if you look hard enough you can find her all hours of the day and night buried under plastic cups with paint from the tips of her fingers to the tip of her nose! You can see examples of Tricia’s work in the gift shop and Visitors Center at Goodwood.

Reimagining Jewelry
April 19th | 1-3:30 PM | Jubilee Cottage | $40
As part of Goodwood’s celebration of Earth Day 2020, create your own unique bracelet or necklace by recycling small found objects such as stones, sea glass, buttons, shells, wood, metal, or even game pieces. Join Joella McGoogan from the Florida Society of Goldsmiths, Northwest Chapter (FGSNW), in being creative by preserving and reusing our Earth’s valuable resources.
There will be a small amount of found objects available, but participants are encouraged to bring their own and extra to share. We will be using mainly wire wrapping, drilling, and our imagination to attach these objects to create a “new” piece of jewelry. We will provide the antique brass chain, clasp, jump rings, and wire (sterling silver will be available for an up-charge). Tools will be provided and are included in the price of the class.
