Your Hostess: Hello all, I am Jennifer VanHeighten, I am the owner of a small events and picnics company located out of Simcoe Ontario. Memories in the Making was started in the Summer of 2023 when I purchased the company from Martine at Rustic Magnolia Baskets. I have always had a passion for hosting over the top events. So when I met Martine and had a picnic of my own, I was instantly in love with the idea of Luxury Picnics. Later that summer I was given the opportunity to purchase this company, and I jumped at the chance. I realized picnics are a seasonal event, so I added other event and slumber parties, and made small business “Memories in the Making, Classy events and picnics”.
Tickets are available on my Facebook Page: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100094682838640&mibextid=ZbWKwL

A 3-hour hands-on sensory garden experience to learn all about the fascinating world of plant sentience.

Follow us through the beautiful expansive themed gardens as we teach you how to actually ‘read’ and understand this sensory non-verbal language to intuitively access the wisdom and healing qualities of plants. Choose spring or autumn dates. The plant energies are entirely different!
