Boxwood Holiday Wreaths

A beautiful boxwood wreath will welcome guests with a modern take on traditional seasonal décor.

In this hands-on workshop, you will create your own boxwood wreath. Your finished wreath will be approximately twelve to fourteen inches wide and will be happiest hung outdoors.

All materials are included. Payment is required in advance due to materials fees, and is non-refundable. This program is limited to ten people, and must have a minimum of four participants to take place.  In the event that the workshop is cancelled, participants may choose to participate in another session.
