Learn the art form of creating topiary shrubs when you prune a 3 foot dwarf Alberta spruce. This living shrub can go on your doorstep for now, and later planted out in your yard.

This is the only time you will ever see this class at this fantastic price.  We took advantage of a closeout special from one of our local growers.  Normally this class is $45 in the spring, so if you are even thinking about it, do not delay.  This is a once-in-a-lifetime price!

A plant-lovers dream: Plant a mini-cyclamen in an ivy ring to enjoy in November, nestle a cluster of paper whites in pebbles to bloom in December, pot an amaryllis to flower in January, & force daffodils to bloom in February.

Where else can you make 4 projects for under $10 a piece? Our amaryllis bulbs are the biggest size that can be bought.  They often bloom not once, not twice, but THREE TIMES in January.

We will cold-treat your pot of daffodils here at the nursery for you to pick up in February.  (They need 14 weeks of cold before they can bloom inside your home.)  The pick-up date is Saturday, February 14th, so you can treat yourself on Valentine's Day!

This S-shaped swag is chock full of fresh fruit, moss, cones and berries, and will steal the show on your Thanksgiving table.  Hints on how to refresh it for December.

There has been a sample on display here at the nursery for the past 3 weeks, and everyone who comes in has admired it.  It's hard to see in the picture, but it is about 3 feet long, and will gracefully curve about the middle of your Thanksgiving table.  You can place a few harvest-colored candles in the middle, too.

Season-long living wreath! Four autumn candles make this a harvest celebration wreath. Switch to pink & lavender candles if you chose to light an advent wreath, and replace with red candles for a classic holiday centerpiece.

This is Tina's absolute favorite class this year.  For those of you who made a succulent tree this fall, this is the perfect compliment.

You will make 4 projects in this one, wonderful day.  The Succulent Living Wreath (see description above) and the Giant Pine Cone Hanging Swag that can be hung on a door, or hung from a hook like a giant kissing ball. Also a Pinecones 'n Pods Evergreen Wreath with teasel, white pine cones, lotus pods, winterberry, and gold-sprayed laurel.

Finally, decorate a 3 foot LIVING TREE that can be displayed indoors or outdoors.  This is another once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, as we got a fantastic deal on these 3 foot arborvitae. By following our instructions, you will be able to plant this in your garden for a living reminder of Christmas 2008 for years to come.

This class includes coffee, tea, hot chocolate, and breakfast breads for a nice coffee break, plus a fantastic catered lunch featuring two chicken dishes and a gourmet dessert.  Let us know if you have any special diet needs.

Replicate the style used in Colonial Williamsburg. Surround shiny red apples or dried pomegranates as well as fragrant greens, cones, pods and berries with a ring of southern magnolias leaves.  This can be used as both a stunning Thanksgiving table centerpiece, and then as a door decoration both indoors or out. Bring your own staple gun, (Arrow Brand preferred.)

This gorgeous wooden box features fragrant greens and bright red winterberries to help create a grand entrance to your home. Can also be used as a tasteful arrangement for a doorstep, patio, or as a remembrance piece.

Charming wooden sleigh decked out in a selection of fancy, West Coast greens, cones and berries.  Hang on a door, or simply prop it up against a wall. Includes a premium, velvet bow.

This our third year with this class, because it has been so popular.  Make sure to sign up early, as we have a limited number of sleds available.  When they are gone, we can't get any more.

Anytime between 9 am and 4 pm

Fragrant balsam,  shiny laurel, and wispy pine support a stellar cast of Kenyan apples, dried citrus, quince, lavender, cinnamon sticks and pepperberries.  A veritable circle of aroma!

The idea for this twist on our usual cranberry wreath came from the Ocean Spray website.  All done up on a reusable metal star nestled among wispy twigs and a larger wood frame star.

This can be hung indoors to last through the holidays if you are willing to replace a few cranberries here and there.  Or wait until it is going to stay nice and cold outside, so it can freeze solid.

The ultimate indoor winter garden! European-style arrangement of living plants including an  ivy ring framing a fragrant mini-cyclamen, with creeping thyme, and several adorable little ferns.

How can you resist this brand new class? Features ivory- white chrysanthemum blossoms arranged into the only classic cartoon character with a jolly, happy soul.

Create six little fresh apple “topiaries” for above the mantle, and a beautiful swag for below.  Measure your mantle before coming to class so you can create a custom piece designed just for your own home.

Made with real, Red Delicious apples, a colorful, dry apple that won't "weep" when pierced.

There’s one more place to decorate that is sure to impress your friends and family – your chair backs!  Create six or eight mini swags complete with your choice of velvet bows and ribbon to secure to your chairs.

This picture came from Better Homes and Garden magazine, so we don't have that exact ribbon, but we have a huge selection of ribbon to choose from, so we are sure to have once that will match your own decor.
