      <title>Spring Ephemerals (October 07, 2026)</title>
      <description>&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; background-color: transparent; margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px !important;" align="left"&gt;&lt;img src="https://northwestperennialalliance.org/resources/Pictures/IMG_8466.jpeg" alt="" title="" border="0" width="283.5" height="207" align="left" style="margin: 0px 10px 10px 0px;"&gt;Wednesday, October 7, 2026&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;" align="left"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Ubuntu; font-size: 20px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"&gt;&lt;font color="#222222"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Spring Ephemerals&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;" align="left"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 18px; background-color: transparent; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Ubuntu;"&gt;11:00am-12:00pm&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; background-color: transparent; margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;" align="left"&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" face="Ubuntu"&gt;Trinity Lutheran Church &amp;amp; Schools, Lynnwood&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p align="left" style="font-size: 18px; background-color: transparent; margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Presented by Cathy Atkins (NPA Board Member)&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p align="left" style="font-size: 18px; background-color: transparent; margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;font color="#000000"&gt;Join us for a hands-on workshop and discussion of spring ephemerals — those fleeting, early-season woodland bloomers that light up the garden before the tree canopy leafs out.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#000000"&gt;Each attendee will plant a biodegradable bag with soil and a curated mix of ephemeral bulbs and corms, ready to take home. Simply pop the whole pot directly into your garden bed — no transplant shock, no fuss — or tuck it into a decorative ceramic pot for a season of blooms on your porch or patio.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#000000"&gt;We'll be planting a mix of:&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Anemone blanda&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;'Blue Shades'&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Anemone&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;'Charmer'&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Border Blue Blend&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Ornithogalum umbellatum&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;(star-of-Bethlehem)&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Crocus&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Trientalis latifolia&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;(western starflower) /&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;Lysimachia borealis&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; background-color: transparent; margin-bottom: 0px !important;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;NPA Members - $15.00&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; background-color: transparent; margin-top: 0px !important;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Non-Members - $25.00&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
