Greens Cutting and Workshops.....Preparations for the Greens Sale

Greens Workshops and Sale

Now that the Ghost, Goblins and Witches are gone, it’s time to start thinking about the Greens Workshops.  Prior to making of the wreaths and arrangements, the Garden Club members collect their materials from our beautiful surrounding area. Then we break down the boxwood and greens by snipping small branches & placing them in water. Finally we are ready to make wreaths, miniature trees, centerpieces and sprays. No experience is needed. It is a great way to meet people, socialize and have fun!! You’ll want to get out your calendar and finds a few hours to join us. Details are below:
