Make & Decorate Your Own Evergreen Wreath

Join Susan to learn to assemble your own mixed evergreen wreath using freshly gathered balsam, pine, and cedar. Susan will teach you how to trim evergreen boughs into workable sprigs, arrange the greens to create a full wreath, share design tips to embellish it, and teach you how to make your own bow to adorn it.

All materials are included in class fee, including freshly foraged greens and a selection of ribbon to finish your project.

As the fresh greens will exude sap, tight-fitting gloves are recommended. And while a selection of handheld pruners and snips will be available, please bring your own if you're able.

No experience required. Students aged 12 and under should register with an adult who is also joining the class.
