About this Event
Some flowers look better dried and these will look great all the time. We’ll have many of the classics like strawflower, winged everlasting, and wheat on deck, plus a host more. (There will be too many to list them all.)
Our team will be ready to go over the drying process so you can begin to generate your own materials from your own garden. While there are good flowers to dry… We encourage you to dry new things. Some of our best projects come from what you might not consider to dry first.
Working with heavy duty wire, floral tape, and floral wire, we’ll demonstrate a basic process that will allow you to create a stunning wreath for any season. The process allows you to create something very chic and minimalist or depending on your mood something substantial and full. 60 - 90 minutes.
General Information:
We recommend navigating to the Observatory Drive and Babcock Drive corner. Plan to head north on Babcock Drive. The entrance to the garden is on Babcock Drive. You are welcome to drop off in the circle but we are not allowed to park there. Google maps will sometimes confuse the garden’s address (620 Babcock Dr, Madison, WI 53706) and navigate to Leopold Residence Hall.
Street parking is free on the weekend. Consider near the Garden on Babcock Drive (lot 34), near Porter Boathouse on Babcock Drive (lot 35), and near Babcock Dairy (lot 40). There is paid parking in the Observatory Drive Ramp next to Steenbock Library (lot 36). Lot 36 costs $4 for the first two hours. More information about parking on campus can be found here: https://transportation.wisc.edu/visitor-parking/
Workshops are held rain or shine. In the event of inclement weather, we will move inside the DC Smith Greenhouses and do things there. Should this need arise before the start of our program, then participants will be notified via email two hours prior to the event. If the weather looks unfavorable please check your email before heading out. All the needed plant materials will be brought to DC Smith Greenhouses (465 Babcock Dr, Madison, WI 53706).
