Here’s how it works; Decide where you want to attend and which item you wish to create: centerpiece, urn or hanging basket (allow about one hour for each). If you want to pick several that’s fine too. Call the appropriate location to register for each item you wish to make. (This allows us to set up enough stations and have all the materials ready when you arrive.)
Show up any time from 10:00 to 1:00 on the above date (remember it ends at 2:00 and takes about an hour for each item). We will have plenty of staff on hand to assist you with your creation. Payment required at registration. Fees are $20.00 for the centerpiece and $35.00 for the urn and hanging basket, plus tax. This includes a variety of fresh greens, containers (but not the actual urn), oasis, assorted berries and holiday accessories (but not the candle holder). Additional items may be purchased separately. Please bring your own pruners and gloves. |
