Due to overwhelming interest (yay!) this class is FULL!
There is an option for a waiting list, though, so still give us a call if you’re interested!
Get a head start on the holiday season!
During this workshop, you will be provided with everything you need to make a unique foraged greens wreath or “teardrop” door swag! You don’t need to be crafty or have any experience to make your own holiday décor - just come and have fun!
Class begins at 1 PM at the Milton R. Owen Nature Center with a short discussion on winter tree identification and sustainable foraging for wild décor. Next, we’ll provide instructions and materials needed to create your one-of-a-kind natural wreath/swag.
You will be supplied with a 14 inch wire wreath form or grapevine swag base, an abundance of different sustainably foraged evergreens and other natural materials, florists wire, pruning shears, and ribbon.
Hot cocoa and warm apple cider will also be provided.
All essential supplies are included with your registration, but feel free to bring any special items (bells, ornaments, antlers, ribbon, etc.) to add a personal touch to your wreath/swag and make it uniquely yours. We are using natural/raw materials and therefore some of them may be quite prickly or have sap on them. Some individuals may find it helpful to bring their own gardening gloves to protect their hands as these are not provided for the class. You may also want to bring your own pruning shears and/or wire cutters if you have them.
Preregistration is required due to limited space in the workshop.
There are only 20 spots available so get registered right away! Registration is $25 and includes instructions, a 14” wreath/swag base, evergreens and other natural materials, ribbon, and floral wire.
