Join us to learn to make a beautiful and long-lasting dried flower wreath in this “make and take” workshop, just in time for the holidays.

Learn how to create beautiful, long-lasting dried flower holiday wreaths with florist Amber Pearsall. She will demonstrate the mechanics of putting everything together and will have a couple examples to guide your inspiration. Personal artistic style is highly encouraged! You’ll be able to choose from a wide selection of dried and some fresh materials from the UCSC Farm and a variety of other sources to create your own wreath to take home. With care, your wreath will last for years.

Light refreshments will be served and the atmosphere promises to be jovial, creative and social.

What to Bring
Flower snips, pruning shears or scissors if you have them. Wire cutters may come in handy. Bring your holiday joy!
