NEW for 2025! This is an indoor potted plant workshop for folks who value houseplants they can grow on after the holidays. In a large 16” long rectangular natural wooden planter (with plastic liner), participants will plant seven seasonal bloomers. Choices will include: cyclamen, poinsettia, lemon cypress, winter berry, calandivia and frosty fern. Amid the arrangement will be a moss nest to sit a waxed amaryllis which will bloom in time for the holidays (fingers crossed, bloom timing is tricky). The final touch will be accents to finish the project to your personalized style, leaning a little to a country chic theme, with pinecones, natural pods and grapevine twists. Colour choices will be offered: white or red blooming amaryllis and then multiple colours of blooming seasonal plants. The sample photo is only one version. You will make your arrangement one-of-a-kind! NOTE as of November 29: We have changed the time of the November 30 session to 1 pm (instead of 10 am), due to forecasted snow in the morning. Let's all be safe! -

Sunday December 14, 1:00 p.m. We introduced this unique rectangular, metal container last year in green (to private sessions only) and this year we offer it in a rusty retro red and gold colour pallet. It is a beautiful container! Into the floral foam that sits firmly in the pot, participants will design with fresh mixed evergreens, including deluxe varieties like boxwood and arborvitae. To accent, pinecones, berries and light florals will be added, making it an elegant table arrangement. We have only containers available for one session, so don’t miss out! -

A kid’s workshop for our friends aged 3-12. This year's ceramic planter has a colourful scene on it's exterior: foxes, birds and winter wildlife. It will be filled with snipets of mixed evergreens so it resembles a hideaway you’d happen upon deep in the forest. Dogwood, pinecones, light floral accents and a woodland animal friend will complete the project. This arrangement is to remain indoors and, by keeping the floral foam moist, will last over a month! NOTE: Photo of full project coming soon. -

Some Folks Come Every Year! Our popular "Winter Sleigh Ride" Workshop will be offered for those who already have the wooden sleigh and wish to "re-green it" and for those who are new to this project. Come one, come all! The wooden sleigh (about 30" long) is a sturdy construction and colour choices are natural and painted red and black. Participants will strap on a foam block and 'green it up" with boxwood, pine, cedar and silver fir evergreen snipets. A bow and accents decorate it to your personal style. This is an outdoor project; it can not remain indoors for more than 1-2 days (greens will dry out). The string allows it to be hung or it can lean against the wall/fence. All materials are included for new participants. Those returning who have the wooden sleigh from one of our previous workshops (see notes below) can bring it to re-do and pay a lower price for this experience. -

Back by popular demand! Winter Gnomes continue to be popular as fun outdoor decor. Using a metal frame, participants will create bundles of fresh evergreens that will attach to the frame, covering the body of the gnome. Layers and layers of evergreens will create a full body (no thin gnomes in this workshop!). A beard will be attached, using Silver Fir, and then his hat, nose and mittens will be affixed. Give your gnome a name before you leave - we'll help you come up with something clever! -

NEW! Let's design a personalized, creative fully evergreen wreath in a new way! Participants will use a fluffy pre-made evergreen wreath as the base to embellish with snipets of deluxe evergreens such as silver fir, western cedar, boxwood and arborvitae plus magnolia leaves, pinecones, berries (real and faux) and a bow. As this method of wreath making is done with paddle wire we can accommodate more participants in each session (18) - don't worry, lots of staff will be available to help you create a masterpiece! This wreath is best as Outdoor decor. The photo is illustrating an option, yours might be very different when complete - that's part of the fun! -

This is a workshop where you learn the techniques to create a fresh, new style of outdoor Winter planter: tree-top style. Participants will use a simple black pot (12" diametre) and pop in a 2-3 foot real evergreen tree (cut, not rooted) as the focal point. Then, layers of fresh evergreen boughs are added to the base of the planter to create a "skirt" that is lush and fragrant. Natural accents such as dogwood, pinecones and magnolia leaves are offered along with items from our "Accent Buffet" to create your own, unique masterpiece. Note: this planter can be stand-alone or pop inside another, decorative pot (fits standard urns too). In this workshop you will make ONE planter; if you require a second one, our staff can gather up the materials for you to make another at home or why not register a friend to work alongside you? -

NEW! Gingerbread Duo has only one session and will be held on Sunday December 14, 3:00 p.m. This new workshop is perfect for an adult and child/teen (ages 6+ recommended) to do together. Two containers will be designed: a larger (14”) oval gingerbread themed tin pot and a smaller (6”) gingerbread pot. How fun! This indoor table centrepiece project will feature the fragrance of fresh evergreens and light florals, not sugar and spice - but will still be nice! Accents for both pots will include natural pinecones, dogwoods and playful gingerbread themed décor accents. It is suggested to come as a pair to complete the projects in the 1.25 hours allotted. If only one person comes, staff may assist with the second container. -
