In Collaboration with Wrenn’s Farm:
Christina Wrenn began growing cut flowers four years ago after finishing her horticulture degree at NC State. She started with a single row of zinnias, all of which sold very quickly, and since then she’s increased her production to over an acre of flowers!
Christina and her husband Austin Wrenn now grow ornamental flowers in rows, using also a greenhouse and a high tunnel full of beautiful blooms. The couple has turned the family farm in Zebulon into a full-time job, alternating between strawberry and flower seasons throughout the year. In the summertime, you’d find zinnias, snapdragons, dahlias, celosia, cosmos, sunflowers, and more. This holiday season, however, Christina invites you to the farm for a Christmas experience.
Dried Flower Holiday Wreath Making Class:
Come spend an evening at this all-natural, locally-sourced wreath making class. Everything is provided: the wreath form, greenery, add-ins, bows, cutting tools, etc., and all greenery is pre-cut by Christina at her farm. All you’ll need to bring is a pair of close-toed shoes!
There will be several add-in options, including but not limited to pine, eucalyptus, arborvitae, magnolia leaves, and cedar, all of which are grown or crafted by Christina’s team in advance. Medical-grade gloves will be provided, but we recommend bringing your own thick gloves to the class if you are sensitive to greenery.
Christina will first demonstrate how to create the wreath, and then participants can get their creative juices flowing by making their own while sipping on hot cocoa or coffee and enjoying some fun holiday tunes. By the end of the class, each participant will have a wreath that fits perfectly on their door!
Please note: There may be bees actively pollinating around the farm during this time.
