SFA Gardens to host holiday wreath-making seminar

The SFA Gardens will host a seminar titled “Deck the Halls – Using Evergreens to Decorate for the Holidays” from 9 a.m. to noon Saturday, Dec. 6, in the Ina Brundrett Conservation Education Building at Stephen F. Austin State University’s Pineywoods Native Plant Center, 2900 Raguet St.

Evergreen branches and garlands once served as symbols of enduring life and a fruitful year to come. Join Dawn Stover, research associate at the SFA Mast Arboretum, to learn how to create elegant wreaths and garlands using materials from the garden. Participants will learn principles of wreath, garland and centerpiece construction and make a wreath to enjoy at home for the holidays.

In addition to the traditional wreaths and garlands, Stover will be introducing new crafts using natural items from the garden and forest. All materials will be provided.

Class size is limited, so register in advance for this holiday seminar. To register or for more information, call (936) 468-1832 or email erodewald@sfasu.edu. Cost is $25 for SFA Garden members and $30 for non-members.
