Workshop: Festive Foliage Urn — Tues., Nov. 24
Create your own gorgeous winter arrangement with fresh-cut evergreens this holiday season. This classic Christmas workshop is a fun opportunity to learn professional design techniques, enjoy an evening out with friends (or take some time to yourself!) and bring home a custom-made winter urn that will welcome guests and beautifully decorate your front door all season long.
You will build your own festive planter using a preset assortment of greens, twigs, and colourful accents. This urn can be used as a drop-in or a stand-alone planter for your porch or other outdoor space. If you’re looking for a traditional, elegant arrangement, or something a little more funky or whimsical, or another unique style, this is the workshop for you.
Choose from 2 different options for your creation:
Basic Urn Arrangement: Includes 3 winter greens, Red Twig Dogwood & your choice of three urn stuffers – pick from a select variety of colours to suit your design.
Deluxe Urn Arrangement: Includes 3 winter greens + Boxwood or Oregonia, 2 birch poles & your choice of 5 urn stuffers – pick from a select variety of colours to suit your design.
