Description:

Come make an evergreen wreath for the holidays! The host of October’s propagation workshop has invited us back in December for a morning of visiting, making wreaths and sharing lunch. Have fun making simple and inexpensive wreaths using pine, juniper and other greenery.

Supplies to bring include frame/s, floral wire, pruner & wire cutter, bucket/bags for collecting greenery, and any other decorations, if desired, like bows, ribbons and/or ornaments. Wire not on a spool/handle/stick, will need to put on one, so that wire can be pulled tight while wrapping. These items, and more, can be sourced from Dollar Tree, Walmart, Hobby Lobby, etc.

Lots of fun to be had in exploring, learning about and harvesting the greenery and items for constructing the wreath/s. Even better to be done as a group, like a scavenger hunt.

Email, or call, for more information. Event limited to 12 registrants.
