Holiday Wreath Workshop
With Alison Johnson at Bellevue Botanical Garden, NPA Propagation Yard
A hands-on workshop to create a holiday wreath - starting with a 14" wire form and ending with a bow - with lots of natural greens and botanicals in-between! We provide all materials, but attendees can bring special accents to customize their wreath (cones, rose hips, holly, etc.).
Workshop teaches how to create a wrapped wire frame that's easier on the fingers and reusable, how to connect evergreens, pinecones and other decorative material to this frame, and how to tie a pretty bow.
Workshop Fee: NPA Members - $25
Non-members - $ 35
9 am to 10:30 am - Class size limited to 10
Workshop is OUTSIDE - Dress Accordingly!
Please Bring - Gloves and Pruners
