Turn Your "Trash" into a "Treasure"!

Back by popular demand, Exhibit Designer Nancy Vejlstrup will return to the Peters Township Public Library to present “Trash to Treasure” on Saturday, July 12 from 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 noon. The program will demonstrate how to turn “trash” into unique gardening “treasures” by potting them with green and flowering plants.

Vejlstrup, who has designed shows for Phipps Conservatory, the Carnegie Museum of Natural History, and the Carnegie Science Center in Pittsburgh; will take items headed for the curbside and turn them into beautiful outdoor planters. One of her creations is currently on display in the main lobby of the library and will be raffled off with proceeds to benefit the library. The planters made during the program will be available for silent auction at the conclusion of the presentation.

Read more about Nancy and the upcoming program in a feature article in The Almanac!
