Holiday Series: Wreaths

With Kerry Ann McLean and Beth White

Session One: Wild Dried Floral Wreaths

Friday, December 1, 10 am – Noon

Session Two: Traditional-with-a-twist Fresh Cut Wreaths

Monday, December 11, 10 am – Noon

DESCRIPTION: The symbol of the circle is ancient – it is immortality, victory, life, rejuvenation, renewal, hope, wholeness and welcome. The wreath, a circlet of fresh or dried elements from a harvest or garden, embodied all these meanings: crafted of leafy boughs to bare branches, flowers to fruits and everything in between, it heralded victories and prosperity in Ancient Greece and Rome to the everlasting love of religious figures in Christianity. The modern wreath continues to celebrate all that is good, beautiful, and accepting and is as varied as the modern world.  Join horticulturist and educator Kerry Ann McLean and guest floral expert Beth White in one of two separate workshops crafting two distinct holiday wreath styles:  the dried floral wreath and the fresh cut greens wreath.
