Learn how to make beautiful, sustainable dried wreaths using farm-grown flowers! We’ll start with an intro to everlasting flowers including favorite varieties for growing in northern climates, proper harvesting, best drying practices, and responsible foraging. We’ll discuss common wreathmaking methods and the importance of sustainability in this craft. Then we’ll spend the rest of class creating small, earth-friendly everlasting wreaths using local willow and dried flowers—perfect for holiday decorations or gifts!

Students will learn basic sustainable dried flower design skills that are easy to use at home and can be scaled up to create larger arrangements. We’ll have time to create two small wreaths in class, and students are welcome to take extra materials home for crafting on their own. Dried flowers will last a year when kept indoors out of direct sunlight.
