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. -

It is 8" round and 5" tall - perfect for the centre of the Easter table or to give as a beautiful hostess gift.

Your designers will be Vikki for the folks who decide to plant and a certified florist for those who decide to make a fresh arrangement. Both designs will be happening at the same time in each session - it will be fun watching each group be creative!

This is a workshop where you learn the techniques to create a fresh, different 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. To get more of a drape, deluxe greens like Silver Fir and BC Cedar are part of the offering, along with the freshly cut local greens. 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? -

OUR MOST POPULAR WORKSHOP! Due to overwhelming demand, two new sessions added: Sunday November 15, 3:00 p.m. and Friday November 27, 10:00 a.m. Our super-popular Evergreen Wreath Workshop is back! Join us to make a lovely 16-18" outdoor wreath on a metal frame (which you will not see when we're done). We offer an abundance of fresh evergreen snipets such as boxwood, oregonia (variegated boxwood), pine, various cedars and silver fir along with accents such as pinecones, blueberry cedar and rosehips. Participants will travel along this Evergreen Buffet to gather up "bundles" that our design team will help you "crimp" onto the frame. The result is a sturdy, lush, fragrant deluxe wreath that will last until about March on your door! This is a wreath for outdoor use; it uses the cold moisture in the air to maintain freshness. Positioned between two glass doors is not an adequate location to hang it; it is best fully exposed to the cold. -

To light up the unit, a new LED old-school lantern will be added to the centre of the arrangement, sitting amid the greens. Colour choices of lantern and ceramic dish will be: red, white or black and, upon arrival you can decide your choices. All materials are included in this indoor arrangement workshop. Photo is of lanterns only; full workshop project pic coming soon!
