This Saturday’s Pruning Lab offered by the Hoffman Wonder Garden offers a few folkjs the chance to spend the day with one of our favorite pruners, Maryann Lewis. Ms Lewis has never met a tangle of branches and limbs she couldn’t transform into an astonishing garden-worthy specimen.
Join a small group of plant lovers for a day of instruction and hands-on supervision that will forever change the way you look at the woody plants in your garden. Their potential will blow you away!

Terry Robb Solo

Pacific Northwest audiences well know Terry Robb from his several decades as a top-tier, multiple award winning local bluesman with an international reputation. The Vancouver-born, Portland-based bluesman took home the Muddy Award for Best Acoustic Guitar so many times that the Cascade Blues Association finally attached his name to the trophy permanently.
Recognition for his artistry doesn’t stop there. The Oregon Music Hall of Famer has been praised by Rolling Stone, Acoustic Guitar, Down Beat, Guitar Player, Vintage Guitar, Living Blues and Oprah’s O Magazine, extolling his talents as a finger-picker, singer, songwriter, arranger and producer. He’s toured the country with Buddy Guy, Steve Miller, Robin Trowrer, and John Fahey, appeared on Late Night With Conan O’Brien, dazzled the crowd at the Rose Garden during Portland Trail Blazers games, and collaborated with the Oregon Symphony. During his multi-decade run in the spotlight – one in which he’s released fifteen acclaimed albums – he’s shown himself to be a master of nearly every blues style and technique imaginable.
These enclosures were installed over a decade ago to protect young trees and shrubs from foraging deer, elk and other neighbors. Now we need your help to remove them! The tiny forests within them have now grown enough to be exposed to wildlife and opened to the larger ecosystem.
Before the concert begins there will be an instrumental “petting zoo”, an opportunity for children and their adults to play some of the orchestral instruments.
The program also features the rousing 1812 Overture by Tchaikovsky, Holst’s Jupiter from The Planets, Grieg’s In the Hall of the Mountain King, and Glière’s Russian Sailor’s Dance. Cookies and refreshments will be available at both concerts during intermission.
The first concert will take place on Saturday, March 14 at the Nehalem Elementary School Gym (36300 8th St., Nehalem, OR) beginning at 3:00 pm.
The second concert will be on Sunday, March 15, at the Bob Chisholm Community Center (1225 Avenue A, Seaside, OR) at 3:00 pm.
Admission for both concerts will be: $10 Adults, ages 18 and under FREE (children 12 and under with adult supervision).
Tickets will be available at the door only for these concerts.
This non-profit orchestra, under the direction of conductor Cory Pederson, brings together musicians from the north Oregon and south Washington coast to perform classical music for local audiences. For more information, please visit the NOCS website: nocsymphony.org.
Jesse, a lifelong musician and lover of nature, will serenade you with melodies on his hang drum, crystal singing bowls and other soothing instruments.
Relax on yoga mats and cushions, with plenty of blankets available for warmth and connect to this special moment in time.

Grafting is an art and allows us to grow a genetic replica of a living fruit tree. We have some amazing old trees growing in the area and want to keep them alive for generations to come!
If you’re interested in grafting a copy of your own tree (or a friend or neighbor’s), now’s the time to collect scion wood. Scions are long straight twigs about the size of a pencil or a little larger. Cut them with sharp pruners and store them in a plastic bag in the refrigerator until the workshop. We will also have scions from local heritage apple trees to share.
Each workshop participant will have the opportunity to learn how to graft and to take home a tree for their own garden or orchard. Suggested donation is $10-25
To sign up for the workshop, contact Jennifer Childress with the White Clover Grange.

Bring your preschooler to hear a hilarious story at North Oregon Coast Symphony’s next free Musical Storytime. In March the featured story will be Three Hens and a Peacock by Lester Laminack. This program is a hands-on musical activity. The event will feature a live oboe accompaniment. Children will hear about a peaceful farm where animals don’t complain – until a peacock arrives. Be ready to laugh out loud as the tale unfolds. With vibrant illustrations this book is sure to be a favorite for children and adults. Afterwards preschoolers will learn more about the oboe and take part in making their own music with provided instruments.
This event will be offered at 10:30 Monday, March 9 at the North Tillamook Library in Manzanita.
The free readings for children ages 2 to 5 are planned monthly in partnership with the Astoria Library, North Tillamook Library in Manzanita, and the Seaside Library.
