0028 - Celebrating the Harvest: The Art and History of Wreath-Making

State Botanical Garden of Georgia Educational Programs

Course Description

Did you know that a harvest wreath represents the wholeness and unity of the seasons coming together? This workshop will discuss the history and celebrations of wreaths from different cultures, share what flower varieties work well for drying and also give some tips about how to dry them. We will begin this workshop with a demonstration of how to make your own wreath base using foraged materials, then move on to designing and decorating. Each student will have the chance to create and take home their very own wreath using flowers we have grown, locally foraged from nature, and dried here at the gardens!
