Is the heat of summer just begging for the wreath you created in spring to be switched out for something hot? Have we got some ideas for you! Join Moira Aulbach in creating your own unique succulent summer wreath. Cool varieties of succulents and moss will be mixed with bold colors to build something vivid and alive. Learn how to create your living wreath, how to take care of it, and ways to extend its beauty. All plants and materials are provided with the registration fee.
For those who do not have a spring wreath to bring in for transformation, there will be grapevine wreaths available for an additional cost of $20 (paid at time of registration). As the year progresses, there will be Fall and Winter classes for more seasonal wreath magic!
