KENNEBUNKPORT — Kids’ Winter Garden Programs at the Louis T. Graves Memorial Public Library (for children ages 8 to 12) will be held on four consecutive Thursdays beginning this Thursday and running through March 10 from 3-4 p.m.

Classes are free and will be taught by Shelley Wigglesworth, a certified Maine Master Gardener and award-winning local journalist. Pre-registration is required and the classes are limited to 12 students.

On Thursday, there will be an event to create zen gardens. Make a portable table top zen garden to take home and help to make one for patrons of the library to enjoy. All supplies (sand, containers, rocks, crystals and miniatures) will be provided.

On March 3, the library will have a workshop on marimo gardens. All supplies (plants, mason jars, shells and rocks) will be provided. Marimo is a tiny living seaweed ball fast becoming a favorite houseplant. Marimo balls require minimal care and aid in stress relief.
