HOLIDAY GREENS WORKSHOP

Presented by the Cornell Cooperative Extension of Wayne County Master Gardeners

What could be better than spending a Saturday morning creating wonderful holiday decorations out of evergreen boughs? Start the holiday season off with our workshop on selection and use of holiday greens to decorate your home! During the three hour session, participants make a fresh wreath, an evergreen swag, and a 15 inch tall tabletop tree or centerpiece to take home and enjoy through the holiday season. Please bring small pruners & gloves.

The workshop is held in early December from 9:00 AM – Noon at the Town of Ontario Recreation Lodge, Casey Park, Knickerbocker Road, Ontario. Note: It’s best to arrive around 8:30 so you’re signed in and ready to begin at 9am.

This class fills up fast and class size is limited to the first 45 paid participants, so a prepaid registration is highly recommended. For current registration fee and class availability please contact Cornell Cooperative Extension of Wayne County at 315-331-8415. Registration will close when we reach 45 paid participants.
