Eco-Fest at Shangi-la



The Celebration begins today at Shangri La Botanical Gardens and Nature Center in Orange, and what a line-up of events are in store.

The Earth Week celebration begins today at Shangri La, located at 2111 W. Park Ave. in Orange, and continues through Sunday. Although Earth Day is Thursday, this year’s events culminate on April 24 with the return of Eco-Fest.

All Earth Week activities, such as boat rides, the star party, a butterfly release, and even children’s activities, are open to the public, but many do require advance reservations. All events require a ticket purchase.

Events open to the public include a Star Party to be held from 7:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m., today. Members of the Astronomical Society of Southeast Texas (ASSET) will be on site with telescopes offering amazing views of the night sky. Guests are invited to attend, and even briang their own telescope, and enjoy amazing views of the moon, planets and the Lyrids meteor shower and more.

Another event open to the public is on how to “Make a Flower Press” from 9:30 a.m. - 11:30 a.m., Wednesday, where attendees will be able to make a flower press and create beautiful objects through the use of previously pressed flowers.

One of the most popular events at Earth Week each year is the Butterfly Release, which will be held between 4 p.m. and 4:30 p.m., Thursday, in the Shangri La courtyard. This is a great event for children of all ages, especially if enough butterflies are available for each person to release their own.

Eco-Fest is Saturday and, if Mother Nature cooperates, is always a fantastic way to enjoy the weekend and celebrate Earth Week.

Both educational and fun, vendors will on site providing information about Earth-friendly products, services and opportunities. There will also be music and boat rides, as well as children’s activities like face-painting, games and skits and much more.

For more information about these events and others which require reservations, visit www.shangrilagardens.org online or call the Shangri La Botanical Gardens and Nature Center office at 409-670-9799.

White Dog Pottery Studio

It's been a crazy week. My mind is dreaming of some time to sit, unwind, and... paint.  I'm not really that great at it, but I sure do love a good paint brush and some pretty colors. I especially like to paint in a place that inspires creativity and that will clean up my mess when I'm done! 




The place I'm dreaming of is a place you've probably never heard of- that's because it's new! May I introduce you to White Dog Pottery Studio, the cutest little paintin' place in Jefferson County. Owner Kathy Thompson is a talented painter herself and has a love for inspiring others. One step into the door of this studio and you'll be grinning from ear to ear. It's just a happy place to be!




Her studio is just perfect for a day/night out with friends, a birthday party for your kiddo (or you!), a shower for a bride, or, or, or... there's a million reasons why you should go visit! 


White Dog Pottery Studio is located at 3690 Calder. If you are on Calder, look for Marsha Woody Dance Studio (big black awning). White Dog Pottery Studio is in the shopping center right behind Marsha Woody. Operating hours are 11 am- 7 pm Wednesday thru Saturday, 1 - 6 pm on Sunday. For more information, call Kathy Thompson at 838.1177. Website should be up soon!
