Thirty-eight excited participants allowed their creativity to run wild at our annual Second Saturday Holiday Wreath-making workshops on Dec 8. Master Gardeners insured the successful outcome of a beautiful wreath for every participant by contributing sumptuous ribbons and a wide variety of fresh greens, pine cones, berries and other interesting plant materials from their gardens.
Julia King, our inspiring wreath expert, led us on our creative journey. For those new to wreath-making, Julia gave a short discussion on the art of making a wreath using a wire frame and a wet moss base. Then she turned us loose to play.
Janae Alberts gave us a quick lesson in how to make a spectacular bow to add the perfect finishing touch to our wreaths.
Just look at the magnificent results--and those happy faces…
