With the coming of the holiday season, people begin decorating their homes to celebrate winter festivals. The UC Cooperative Extension Master Gardeners of Stanislaus County are bringing back last year's popular Nature Wreath Workshop!
After the colorful autumn leaves fall, the landscape can seem bare due to plants dying back or going dormant. Despite that, much splendor can still be found in nature this time of year. Whether they are deciduous or evergreen, cold weather plants can provide many shapes, colors and textures such as pinecones, rose hips, moss, wooden roses, vines, acorns and dried berries, all of which can be used to make decorative materials.
To capitalize on nature's beauty, come create a holiday wreath for yourself or as a gift for family or friends. The base of the wreath is made from woven grapevines. In addition to nature-provided materials, embellishments such as ribbons and glitter will be available. In addition, this year you can also create a centerpiece on a wooden base, with or without a candle.
The Master Gardeners invite you to join us in creating your own holiday décor using natural materials. Your creations can be as simple or elaborate as you wish. All items will be provided. You just need to bring your imagination to inspire creativity! Invite friends and family to join the fun.
