New uses for everyday objects at Trash to Treasure

The library will host “Trash to Treasure” on Thursday, May 8 from 7:00-8:00 p.m. presented by Nancy Vejlstrup, Master Gardener and Exhibit Designer for Phipps Conservatory, the Carnegie Museum of Natural History and the Carnegie Science Center of Pittsburgh.

Learn how to use everyday objects differently instead of putting them into the trash pile. Three unique pieces will be transformed into clever, creative planters, complete with green and blooming plants. Participants will receive handouts with ideas/suggestions along with photographs to help them get started on their own repurposed planters. Cost for the program is $10. Register to attend at the library circulation desk.

As part of “Trash to Treasure” program, Nancy has created a centerpiece from a birdcage which is on display in the library lobby. The piece will be raffled the evening of the program. Raffle tickets will be available for $5.00 per ticket or 4 tickets for $15.00. Each participant registering for the “Trash to Treasure” program will be given a free raffle ticket at the time of registration.
