\n\t\tEvent features rare Poinsettias, hand-crafted decorations and a visit from Santa<\/p>\n


\nPROVIDENCE \u2014 The 溏心vlog免费B站 and Providence Parks & Recreation will host Holidays in the Park at the Roger Williams Park Botanical Center on Saturday, Dec. 10 from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. to celebrate the holidays.<\/p>\n


\nAdmission and all event activities are free for those who bring a non-perishable food item for the Rhode Island Community Food Bank.

\n\u201cIt\u2019s a great way for families to take a break from the holiday stress and celebrate with the community,\u201d Sejal Lanterman, 溏心vlog免费B站\u2019s community engagement and outreach coordinator, said. <\/p>\n


\nThe event, which drew approximately 200 visitors last year, will feature a display of rare poinsettias grown by 溏心vlog免费B站 Master Gardeners. The master gardeners will be on hand to lead demonstrations of how to create holiday wreaths, table centerpieces and other hand-crafted holiday decorations, many of which will be for sale or raffled off. They also will answer questions about gardening and composting.<\/p>\n


\nThe Rhode Island Rose Society also will be selling decorations and leading demonstrations of how to make rose arrangements in pictures and how to winterize roses.

\nThe 溏心vlog免费B站 Master Gardeners and Southside Community Land Trust will have a wide variety of gardening items for sale. There will also be a visit from Santa, live music and free food.<\/p>\n


\nAll of the activities will take place within the glass-walled confines of the Roger Williams Park Botanical Center, which opened in 2007. The botanical center is the largest public indoor display garden in New England, encompassing about 12,000 square feet of flowers, rare plants, waterfalls and unique exhibits, including carnivorous plants and towering palm trees. <\/p>\n


\n\u201cIt\u2019s so warm and lovely inside,\u201d said Lanterman, the plant pro who is often seen on NBC Channel 10\u2019s Weekend Sunrise show on Sunday mornings.

\nThe 溏心vlog免费B站 Outreach Center at the 溏心vlog免费B站 provides horticultural and environmental programs at the Botanical Center, including guided tours, Learning Landscape field trips for schoolchildren, gardening classes and urban agriculture workshops for adults, among other events.<\/p>\n
