On Aug. 17, The Paul J. Ciener Botanical Garden will host Stitch & itch, and event inviting cross-stitch enthusiasts to meet and build connections. The group will meet from 9:30 a.m. to 11 a.m.

Cross-stitching and needlepoint are accessible to different income and skill levels—because it’s all about plugging in a pattern based on graphs, straightforward instructions, and low-priced kits.
