Come join us for Holiday Fun and Hot Beverages!
When:
December 15th 2024 2:00pm-4:00pm
Where:
921 Buffaloe Rd, Garner, NC 27529
Like last year, we will be in the main shelter (Shelter Number 1) at Lake Benson Park by the playground, parking area, and bathrooms. This facility has fireplaces so if the weather is cold we can stay warm by the fire! We will also have a hot tea bar set up with plants and herbs from our garden and more.
We will start by teaching wreath making techniques and then get some hands-on time crafting our own creations using plant material from our garden. We will have crafting supplies, and lots of plant material for use but feel free to bring extra along to use on your wreath and/or share with others. We will also have ribbon for decorating the wreaths but please feel free to bring anything fun you’d like to add to your wreath (or share with others) except glass ornaments, which are not allowed in the park (you can always add them later at home)
*A $5-$15 donation is encouraged but not required for taking home wreaths. Extra wreaths will be donated to Garner Senior Center to spread the holiday cheer!
We will have lots of plants and tools on hand for making wreaths but there will be up to 30 people in attendance so some tools will have to be shared. If you have your own tools or a non-glass/non-ceramic coffee cup that you’d like to bring, that would be helpful. We recommend you label it to make sure it doesn’t get confused with anyone else’s, and ask that everyone is careful not to walk off with items that do not belong to them.
Items we recommend bringing:
-
- Long sleeves are recommended as some plants can be spiky
- Gloves
- Pruning shears
- Needle nose pliers
- Insulated bottle for warm drinks
