Tired of store bought holiday wreaths that are just so-so? Why not join us in crafting your very own one-of-a-kind natural Holiday Wreath? You will have a wide variety of greens to build your base with, all cut and harvested right here in the Shenandoah Valley. Plus all sorts of natural elements (think dried orange slices, pomegranates, pinecones, cinnamon sticks and so much more) to add texture and accent your wreath.
Your finished masterpiece will be roughly a 24” wreath perfectly sized to adorn your front door or wherever you’d like to add some winter whimsy.
