FREE POTTING WITH PURCHASE OF PLANTS

During our Fall Planting Days weekend Saturday, September 20th and Sunday, September 21st from 11am to 3pm, we welcome you to bring in your pots and planters (14″ diameter or smaller) from home, and we’ll get your purchased indoor or outdoor plants potted in your container with G&B Organics Potting Soil, at no extra charge.

That’s right – we’ll do the planting for you, for free!

This short class is to showcase some of my favorite perennials that we’re growing this fall at Peoria Gardens. Perennials are great for patio pots, hanging baskets, cut flowers, and beautifying the landscape! I’ll also give insight into my train-of-thought when ordering plants and planning the plant menu for the year.

Here to Answer Questions – Saturday 9/20 of Fall Planting Days

Not able to make the class? Come by between 11:30am and 2:00pm on Saturday, September 20th during our Fall Plantings Days weekend, and ask Shay your perennial plant questions!

You’ll find Shay setup in our Perennial Plant area with a display table of the favorite fall perennials.

An unexpected move for Slipstream Clay Studio has become an opportunity to add an artist gallery and a ceramic supply shop. The new shop at 1233 Main St, Philomath, Oregon 97370 is being called the Philomath Arts Building and houses all three art endeavors. Join us for a Grand Opening Celebration on October 4th, 2025 from 5-7pm and find us on the Philomath Open Studios Tour on the last two weekends in October. 

The newly formed Green Heron Gallery occupies about ⅓ of the building and is co-operatively run by its artist members. Started with nine local painters, sculptors, ceramicists and mixed media artists, the gallery is changing and growing day by day. “We intend to add a rotating exhibition of artists from the Corvallis Art Guild and the Willamette Ceramics Guild, as well as an invited artist area. We want to keep the work fresh so that art lovers will stay engaged with our very talented art community” says Wilson. The current members are: Sandy Wilson, Jennifer Jo Deily, Avie Meadows, Beth Kattleman, Jess Felix, Vicki Wilson, Debra Garley, Jennifer Lommers and Sandy Roumagoux.

Slipstream Clay Studio students and members can be seen working away in the adjacent studio. Wilson is currently offering eight week courses and a series of one session “Try-It” classes. Registration is online at www.slipstreamclay.com. Since the studio has a limited capacity, those who can’t get into a class can order a take-home kit for a specific project. They can make a project with a video tutorial, or work independently. Firing is included. 

Ceramics artists can also shop in the Slipstream supply store, located in the front of the studio. This store features Cone 6 Stoneware and porcelain clay and glazes. Slipstream is becoming a distributor for Georgies Ceramic and Clay in Portland, Oregon. “It’s a funny kind of full circle for me, having been employed by Georgies nearly 30 years ago, when I was in school, and then using these products ever since. I never thought I’d be at the register again.”, says Wilson.
