Christmas Wreath Workshop -3

Explore your creativity using a mix of foliage from Darts Hill Garden to create your own unique Christmas wreath with Rosina Mak, Consulting Arborist. You'll use fresh greens cut from the garden and work in our outdoor Maple Activity Center. All wreath making supplies and equipment will be provided at the workshop. Feel free to bring along your own garden gloves and any accoutrements to embellish your creation. Please dress warmly and in layers and bring your own beverages or snacks if you wish.

You may bring your own:

1. secateurs (garden shears)
2. small wire cutters
3. gardening gloves

Supplies provided per paid registration:

12 inch grapevine wreath or wire form

newspaper pages to bulk up the wire rim

a selection of cut greens and cones

a paddle of green floral wire

We will have a variety of cut branches available from Darts Hill Garden, some with berries and cones. If you have some specific foliage in mind, such as variegated daphne, osmanthus or holly, bring it along as our supply and collection is limited. Avoid cotoneaster as the red berries drop quickly and stain surfaces.
