DUELING DESIGNERS
DO HOLIDAYS

This fun holiday tradition returns! Designers David Pippin and Al Brockwell are back in person as they take whatever the Garden throws at them to create designs suitable for the holiday season! Gather ideas for your own holiday embellishments as David and Al explain why they used materials the way they did and show off their final creations. Enjoy a tasty breakfast buffet to start (included); arrangements will be raffled at the end of the program (containers included).

Our Garden continues to follow CDC recommendations and state guidelines for preventing the spread of COVID-19. Properly worn masks are strongly encouraged for indoor class participants regardless of vaccination status. The Garden reserves the right to implement additional safety measures. Any updates will be communicated prior to class, if possible.

This class is cancelled.
