Kick off the holiday season at Hershey Gardens’ annual wreath workshop! Participants will learn how to make a beautiful seasonal wreath with a variety of fresh greens collected from Hershey Gardens’ grounds. A continuous wire wrap technique will be taught, in which greens are bundled and secured to an 18-inch wreath form. The result is a lovely, fragrant, long-lasting seasonal decoration perfect for displaying on a door or above a fireplace mantel. All tools and supplies are provided; refreshments will be served.
