Make Your Own! Holiday Table Garlands
December 14 @ 9:30 am – 12:30 pm
Add natural beauty to your holiday display with handcrafted garlands by using fresh greenery such as cypress, arborvitae and magnolia. In this class, you’ll learn the steps to turn unassuming branches and foliage into beautiful pieces of festive cheer. In this hands-on class, your instructor, Rebecca Turk, will cover key trees and shrubs to grow as well as how to make an six foot table garland using those plants. Each class attendee will make their own 6’ table garden from materials harvested from the Garden. Once completed, your beautiful creation will go home with you to decorate your home for the holidays!
Capacity is limited to reserve your spot today!
