Dried Flower Wreaths Workshop
Dried Flower Wreaths Workshop Info and Contact
Learn to make the full, colorful wreaths I bring to market! You’ll arrange dried flowers on a metal frame to make a beautiful wreath that will last for years in your home. It's a great next step if you've already learned to make bouquets and grapevine wreaths. Note: this workshop is the most "fiddly" of everything I'm teaching this year. I've had luck teaching students of all abilities, and I'm always happy to help with modifications and wrapping things myself for people who struggle with arthritis, but if you know you hate paying attention to small details and being precise, you might enjoy another workshop more.
Pre-registration is required. Cost: $75. https://forms.gle/VhBPRxXYXKUgmav29

Holiday Balsam Wreaths Workshop Info and Contact
Get in the winter spirit and learn to make a 16" balsam wreath with local balsam and other natural foraged materials (think: birch bark, red dogwood, milkweed pods, cedar, an assortment of pinecones, etc). It's the same process as making a dried flower wreath, but with much easier (and delightfully fragrant) material to work with!

Wild Garden Workshop
Support nature with beautiful native gardens
Have you been thinking about reducing your lawn, but aren’t sure where to start?
Would you love a home surrounded by flowers (butterflies, bumblebees!) but feel overwhelmed by plant lists and unsure how to pull it all together?
If you want to support and enjoy nature at home with beautiful, low-maintenance native gardens, the Wild Garden Workshop is for you.
This 7-week course is designed for both beginners and experienced gardeners. Together, we’ll explore the science behind ecological gardening, get to know many of our stunning native plants, and walk through the design process for creating perennial gardens that are both beautiful and super beneficial.
Through a mix of presentations, group discussion, and hands-on design work, participants will:
Gain a deeper understanding of the pollinators, plants, and ecological connections in their yards
Create a detailed garden design for a wild garden at home
Learn practical skills like starting native plants from seed, choosing the right species for your home, and how to kill grass
And much more!
