With Halloween just around the corner, have some fun learning about spiders and crafting spider webs together. I use photos and videos mixed with live demonstration and hands-on crafting to help inspire while we create. In this 2-day workshop students will create their own paper spider web with scissors, weave a paper and yarn web, race a marble in a box to understand web science and use crayons to make one of a kind spider web art. Each of the projects is paced to meet the needs to the kids in the class as I know how to balance the class out and encourage artists to work at their own pace while keeping all the class engaged. The class is encouraged to watch and learn from what others are doing while I still lead each step of the way. During each project, spider fun facts are shared that I have learned from the garden.

Enthusiastic mom of 2 kids, Lisa Ely first learned to garden from her dad in their backyard when she was 6. Ever since there has not been a pile of dirt that she didn’t want to get her hands in.
Lisa is creator of Learn, Giggle & Grow Garden Curriculum and the co-author of three books under the Kinder Gardens umbrella. She is currently working on her next book series and a multi-media, adventure gardening experience for families to learn more and be inspired every day.
Prior to launching her children’s and family gardening enterprise, Lisa traveled the world over and over as an award-winning non-fiction TV producer and director. Some of her credits, like CBSs The Amazing Race, Discovery’s Garden Police and a number of shows on HGTV (including the Rose Parade) have helped her learn more about her garden passion.
Lisa’s always been described as a big kid and it wasn’t until she had kids that people stopped looking at her a bit funny when she would start a mud ball fight or run through the sprinklers. She admits that she’s good at playing because she’s had years of practice! She lives by her new family motto of “We’re washable!”
Lisa loves being in front of group sharing her love of everything fun in the garden. Some of her favorite classes are focused on worm science, eating the rainbow, tomato talk, soil on the move and root, stems, oh my!
When she’s not gardening she’s often with her husband watching their kids play baseball, paddling a dragon boat or playing her own version of “Chopped” to get a nightly dinner on the table!
