After a garden club member showed her gifted Preserved Boxwood wreath to the group, a few of our members wanted to try this process. This project needs special curing ingredients, 20 days to "preserve" the freshly cut boxwood and a large quantity of product. They made these  beautiful sustainable wreaths to last, hopefully, for many holiday seasons:

In past years the Garden Club has made Front Porch Fall Decor as an auction item at the Museum's Fall Dinner and Auction and last year we had a workshop on creating our own fall table decorations, including velvet pumpkins. To inspire you to create your own Fall decor, these are some of those finished products:
