Flanders Nature Center & Land Trust invites the community to kick off the holiday season with its annual wreath-making workshops. Participants will craft and decorate their own unique holiday wreaths using a variety of provided greens, pinecones, ornaments and natural dried flowers.

Workshops begin with a guided hike to gather evergreens, followed by hands-on instruction from Flanders educators. Each participant receives a 12-inch metal frame and all essential materials, with the option to bring hand pruners, garden gloves, and additional decorative items.

Workshops are held at the Sugar House in Woodbury, on the following dates: December 3, 5 and 7 at 9 a.m., December 8 at 3 p.m., December 14 at 9 a.m. and 3 p.m., December 15 at 9 a.m. and noon, and December 21 at 9 a.m., noon and 3 p.m.
