HOLIDAY WREATH
WORKSHOP

Join designers David Pippin and Mimi Cassick at the Garden to create a unique holiday wreath. Use common evergreens to create a base wreath on a straw form, then add accent greens cut from the Garden’s collections and various decorations, including a bow. We’ll have light seasonal snacks to keep you fueled as you work.

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.
