Table Wreath Centerpieces Using Seasonal Plants

Thursday, October 15, 2020
11 a.m. to 1 p.m. 

Virtual attendance via Zoom video and audio internet connection

Presenter: Cynthia Gillooly, Floral Designer at B. B. Barns Garden Center

Program Description: Cynthia demonstrates how to use seasonal plants and grapevine wreaths to create versatile table centerpieces that will decorate your home from Fall, through the holiday season, and into Winter.

Begin with a stroll through your garden to collect natural plant materials.  Nature will provide you with a bounty of evergreens, seed pods, mosses, berries, and dried hydrangea blossoms.  The simple grapevine wreath will serve as the base for your centerpiece, with the open center becoming the focal point for arranging seasonal plant materials.  Cynthia shows you how to incorporate fresh flowers, gorgeous ribbon, or candles.  And she shares ways to easily modify your arrangement throughout the changing Fall, Winter, and holiday season.

Join us and have fun exploring your own unique style and creativity with seasonal plant décor.
