April 22nd - Opening Day. We will be ready to sell our herbs and perennials. Spring is finally here - time of growth. During this season you will find wonderful plants here at the Wooden Shoe plus a shop filled with interesting accent pieces for your garden, deck or patio. We open at 10 a.m. Welcome to a new year here at the farm.

May 8th and 9th - 10 a.m. - 5 p.m. Spring Open House. We are getting ready for Mother’s Day here at the farm. Come and buy something for your mom and bring a friend.

The last five Springs we have had a wonderful start to the year with our “Mason Cottage Industry Spring Show.” We, along with other small country businesses east of Mason decided to celebrate spring with this event. Just in time for Mother’s Day. We saw a lot of new customers and we are going to do it again this year - our sixth annual spring craft show. Come and enjoy. A wreath, swag or arrangement of dried and preserved flowers will be a lasting gift. They last and last without any care. Or a beautiful plant, like a herb or a tree peony. These gifts are all expressions of love for that special person in your life. This year we have added some new products to our bath and body section. We have a wide selection of gel candles, creams, linen sprays and bath salts.

June - December - Scheduled Classes. Please see our Classes Page for details.

July 11th and July 18th - Scheduled Teas. Please see our Teas Page for details.

September 18th and 19th - In conjunction with the other Cottage Industries we will be having our third annual Fall Craft Show. We will have available all types of goodies for the fall season. This will get you into the mood for Halloween. Come and join us - buy something to decorate your house or garden.

November12th, 13th and 14th - Our famous Mason Area Home Craft Show.

We have been participating in the Mason Home Craft Show for over 20 years. It is time for you to buy those Christmas gifts for teacher, office workers or friends. The maps will be available here and will be posted on this web site once we get closer to the actual date. We have 20 houses participating with a variety of crafts. A fun time to become familiar with the farm if you have never been here.

November 27th and 28th - Christmas Open House.

We will have available a variety of fresh greens. Kissing Balls, Swags, Arrangements and Wreaths made especially for the Christmas season. Make it a tradition to stop and see what the Wooden Shoe has to offer you for the holidays. You will not be disappointed in the selection and prices.

Advent Wreaths - For the past few years, we have had an advent wreath class on the Saturday before advent. The advent wreath is an old fashioned way of celebrating advent. The wreath is made up of juniper and herbs with four candles, three purple and one pink. Some ornamental herbs are also used to give some color to the wreath. Last year we again accepted special order requests. Call and order your special advent wreath for your home or church. The price is $28.

December 5th - Closed for the season.

TALKS throughout the year - I give talks to varying clubs and organizations. If you would like me to do a presentation for your club, please contact me for fees, times and dates.

Gift Certificates are available.
