The Balsam will naturally turn a fabulous shade of brown, the needles will not shed and you will have a "decorator"wreath which will be the envy of your friends. Not your average christmas wreath!  $40.00 per person- all materials included.

I have one 27 years old, scroll down to see my wreath. If you have been to the farm it is on the door into our butterfly room. It began as a green fresh wreath and was decorated with cockscomb, hydrangea and pinecones. It took almost three months for it to darken but it now looks like a decorator wreath and is left out year round.

Why make a wreath that you will to throw away after the season? 

Registration is required, class is at 1:00 and the cost is $40.00 which includes all the materials and refreshments. This year you will actually learn how to MAKE the wreath or a swag and then decorate it. If you just want to come decorate one, come a bit later. We have wreaths ready to be decorated too.The class will be in conjunction with our Christmas Open House which will run from 10-5.
