A Christmas Wreath, Made from Nature
Are you interested in joining us at Elysian Sanctuary Farm for a seasonal wreath-making experience inspired by the natural beauty of the holidays?
What makes this workshop especially unique is that much of the greenery and botanical materials used to create your wreath will be harvested directly from our farm. From fragrant cedar and various varieties of pine to eucalyptus, natural twigs, and dried plant materials gathered, each wreath will bring together the textures, colors, and seasonal beauty of the land, making every creation unique.
Using a classic, layered wreath-making technique, participants will create their own 18-inch evergreen Christmas wreath, finished with their choice of additional decorative elements such as pinecones and ribbon.
We are currently exploring interest in offering this workshop and would love to hear from those who might enjoy spending a little time creating something beautiful and handmade for the holiday season.
