What’s Happening at Goodwood
Celebrating the Season
Friday, December 4th | 12-1 PM
The Tallahassee Garden Club and Goodwood Museum & Gardens bring you Celebrating the Season in the garden. Join this creative workshop to make a one-of-a-kind holiday swag to hang on your front door or placed as a centerpiece at your favorite gathering table. Begin the class by strolling among the numerous gardens at Goodwood for ideas and inspiration, and don’t forget to bring a set of clippers to cut the “just right” combination of flowers and foliage to fasten together for your decorative swag. Come enjoy the beautiful greenery in the gardens and take some of it home with you. If you’re not in the holiday spirit before you arrive, you will be when you depart! Please register by November 30 to secure your space.

Holiday Meat Sale
Receive or visit friends and family this Christmas with incredible, slow-cooked hickory-smoked meats. Everyone will love a traditional holiday ham or delectable Boston Butt, and you will enjoy not having to do all the cooking. These are delivered hot, can be refrigerated and reheated in the same pan, and will taste great through Christmas Day.
Surprise everyone with a full rack of BBQ ribs or Johnson’s Famous Smoked Sausage. Stuck for a gift? Who doesn’t love bacon, bacon, bacon – it’s better than a sweater and easier to wrap!
All products are cooked by Johnston’s Old Fashioned Meat Market – three generations perfecting the art of country cured, smoked meats.

Virtual Goodwood’s Got Game Nights!
Wednesday, December 9th | 4:30-5:30 PM
Just because we have to social distance, does not mean we have to give up socializing! This is an opportunity to create memories through laughter and celebrate new traditions with your loved ones. Goodwood’s Got Game night is back this November, and while not all games can be played virtually, there are quite a few for number-loving and word-loving gamers that can be modified to provide some community interaction and downright virtual fun.
Test your cognitive health by exercising those brain cells with these quick-thinking games and puzzles. See if you can remember the old days by recalling popular bands of the decades or historic events, figure out movies from emojis or famous people by their silhouettes, or unscramble words you would find on a grocery list. Games will be designed to wake up and use all the parts of the mind, while also boosting our brain health through social interaction. Please register to receive details and the Zoom program link.
