What a fun DIY Kit! An 11” oval tin planter is the container for this project. It is watertight so the written DIY instructions will guide you in adding in a block of fresh floral foam, mixed evergreens (pine, boxwood and BC cedar). You will add a battery operated ivory pillar candle (batteries included) and a 6” woodland gnome holding a bottlebrush tree. This will be the focal point of your arrangement; accents will include short dogwood sticks and pinecones. Complimenting this muted pallet will be several stems of blue-green dried eucalyptus with instructions on how to scatter it throughout the arrangement for textural interest and remarkable fragrance. The instructions will guide you on how to care for this arrangement so it lasts well into January. Close to the holiday you can add in some light fresh flowers (not included) if you wish to make it more floral for your entertaining needs. We will provide you suggestions and ways to do this. Quantities are limited. This DIY Kit is available November 28-December 15. Please indicate your preferred Pick Up date in the NOTES section at Check-Out. -

A pretty 6” champagne coloured glass vessel will be the beautiful container for this tabletop boxwood tree. A basic tree shape will materialize as participants add green and variegated boxwood to the fresh floral foam base secured in the glass pot. Once “greened up”, pinecones and small accents will decorate the tree, to personalize it. We will include choices to make your tree natural or sparkly - or a combo of both styles! The overall height for this arrangement will be approximately 18” and it is a great option for someone who doesn't wish a large tree in house and needs just a small tabletop tree for the season. Watered well, this arrangement can last 6-8 weeks, looking fresh and lovely. -

The Grinch is back! Attending this super popular workshop is tradition for many of you! We're happy to be back "grinching" it up with you again this year. This is a family friendly workshop, great for all ages, but most-enjoyed by ages 7/8-adult. Using a lovely 6" round tin container and fresh floral foam, participants will twist up a branch of "leyland cypress" so it bends like the last tree in a Who-ville home once the Grinch got his greedy hands on all of the goodies. Fresh evergreen boughs (boxwood, pine and cedar) will be added at the base, along with light fresh flowers and a final touch of an ornament on the tip of the main branch. Whimsical and fun for the holidays! Photo is of a Grinch project from a previous year; 2025 project will have a different pot. -
