Common Invasive Plants of WNC ~ ID and Prevention
Sep 12 @ 10:00 am – 11:00 am
Black Mountain Library

The Sowing Circle Series will hold a free Zoom presentation on identifying and preventing common invasive plants in WNC.  

Non-native invasive plants introduced into North Carolina are causing problems for our native plant and animal species. These plants are taking over our natural areas, parks, forests, urban environments, yards, and gardens. We have invited Barb Harrison, Buncombe County Extension Master Gardener, to teach you how to recognize and identify the most common invasive plants in our area and how to reduce their spread. 

Registration required.  This talk is sponsored by Black Mountain Blooms Seed Lending Library and Buncombe County Extension Master Gardener Volunteers.  Come join our gardening community and grow with us!

Online Seminar: Key Principles of Landscaping—Design Do’s and Don’ts
Sep 17 @ 11:00 am – 1:00 pm
Online

Presenter:  Nina Shippen, Landscape Designer and Owner, Hidden Road Landscape Design

Designing a landscape is like creating a sculpture that we walk through.  We are shaping space.  What does the design of that space contribute to a satisfying experience in the garden?  On the other hand, what detracts from it?

During this talk, we will explore design fundamentals such as scale, balance, coherence, context, texture, and color.  We will review the landscape design process, starting with the all-important site assessment.  Insights gleaned from both successes and failures will be salted throughout the presentation.

Come join us and find your landscaping answers.

 Registration:  The talk is free but registration is required.  Please click on the link below to register.  If you encounter problems registering or if you have questions, call 828-255-5522.

Guidon Brewing Comedy Night
Sep 19 @ 7:00 pm – 9:00 pm
Guidon Brewing

SHOWTIME: 7:00 PM
DOORS: 6:00 PM
BAR OPENS: 4:00

Episode 7 of Marquee Comedy’s Guidon Brewery Comedy Series features 2 never before seen on any of our shows comedians and 2 returning favorites.

SCOOTER FOWLER
Hailing from Inman SC, Scooter’s comedy is a mixture of pure silliness and a little filth. He believes laughter is the best medicine and should be administered as often as possible. There’s truly no-one in the world like the human teddy bear, SCOOTER FOWLER!

GRACE HAUTH
Grace Hauth is a comedian based in Charlotte, NC. She is a regular host and performer at The Comedy Zone-Charlotte. She has opened for Joe Zimmerman, Gina Brillon, and other nationally touring headliners.

JOY WILLS
Joy Wills is originally from Memphis, TN and performs all over the Southeast. She has opened for Jeff Dye, Nick Colletti and several other nationally touring headliners. Underneath her deadpan exterior you will find a charismatic wit and little to no muscle mass.

JAMES BURKS
When you mix goat farming, glassblowing, video game addiction, traveling glass buttplug salesman, alcoholic parents and multiple head injuries into the cake batter of life, out comes a delicious abomination: James Burks

OUTSIDE PATIO SHOW
This is our 2nd outside show on the patio at Guidon Brewing Company. Our first show filled up quickly, yet safely. Our 2nd show is likely to do the same. So come early, bring your friends and enjoy an incredible night of regional comedy!

RATED R
All our shows are 18+.
We feature adult comics, talking about adult subjects
using adult language.
We invite you to come with an open mind and a desire to laugh!
If you are looking to be offended, we can arrange that, too. :-)
