Wreath-Making Workshop

Craft a classic, lush evergreen wreath that serves as the ultimate statement piece for your home. This is your invitation to embrace the joyful, over-the-top abundance of traditional holiday decor. You will build a thick, voluminous wreath from a pre-built foundation using a generous blend of premium evergreens like fragrant pine and glossy magnolia boughs. Once your base is bursting with life, you will load it up with classic festive accents. Top it all off with a massive, hand-tied bow for that quintessential, eye-catching holiday flair. Hand pruners and garden gloves provided, but feel free to bring your own. This program takes place in-person at Mt. Cuba Center Saturday, December 5, 2026.
