SPRING EPHEMERALS &<br />
OTHER DELIGHTS<br />
Jana Milbocker and Joan Butler, Instructors<br />
There are hundreds of species of wildflowers that are<br />
native to the woodlands of northeastern North America.<br />
In this one-evening workshop, we will describe and<br />
illustrate the delicate and often fleeting beauty of<br />
early spring blooming perennials such as Bloodroot,<br />
Jeffersonia, Hepatica and Epimedium. Descriptions<br />
of their habitats and ideal growing conditions highlight<br />
their unique adaptations and encourage both their<br />
conservation and inclusion in the home garden. We<br />
will share with you where to purchase and how to<br />
incorporate these wonderful additions to your gardens.<br />

MAINTENANCE<br />
George Arbuckle, Instructor<br />
The goal of this course is to teach the basic practices of<br />
auto mechanics to aspiring automotive technicians and<br />
“do-it-yourselfers”. Each of the four classes will focus on<br />
one major topic: regularly scheduled maintenance; engine<br />
performance; suspension systems; and braking systems.<br />
We will cover a range of basic maintenance tasks such as<br />
changing oil, inspecting and changing filters, inspecting<br />
and topping off fluid, and rotating and changing tires. We<br />
will also cover other basics of auto mechanics including<br />
basic engine operation fundamentals, explanation of<br />
component functions of the suspension systems, and<br />
basic brake repair. Please wear clothes that you don’t<br />
mind getting dirty, and keep in mind that the station could<br />
