Memphis Botanic Garden offers creative holiday workshops and classes

Memphis Botanic Garden is offering inventive workshops and classes as the holidays approach, designed to bring out participants' inner artists and inspire them to create unique handmade gifts for loved ones.

Adult Education Coordinator at Memphis Botanic Garden Carlee Zamora joined Kacky Walton to discuss a variety of offerings, including "Made to Serve: A Metalsmithing Workshop for the Dinner Table"; "Autumn Alchemy"; the "Holiday Wreath Making Party"; and "Made to Gift: A Metalsmithing Earring Workshop."

For those looking to enhance their mixology skills for holiday entertaining, "Autumn Alchemy" invites adults 21 and older to refine their techniques. Additionally, "Holi-Date Night" provides an evening of signature cocktails, small bites, and the chance to create a living ornament to take home.

I owe my radio career to the Ford Motor Company. My daddy had a Ford dealership in our hometown of Clarksdale, Mississippi, and he thought it would be cute if his 7-year old daughter did his radio commercials. The pay wasn't great, just a pack of Wrigley's gum, but I was hooked on radio from then on.
