Garden School Program
Creating an Autumnal Wreath: Gleanings from the Forest Floor
Cushiony moss, lichen-encrusted twigs,
bright berries, apples, and pears reflect
the abundance of the Pacific Northwest
landscape and provide the raw material
for eye-catching textural wreaths. Yes,
Françoise Weeks returns to host
another nature-inspired wreath-making
workshop. Participants will create the
classic welcome for their doors or
beautiful seasonal centerpieces.
Born in Belgium, where flowers are
an integral part of everyday life,
Françoise Weeks trained with florists in
Antwerp. She has translated her passion
for nature and the garden into a
distinctive, lush and textural style. She
has educated students in diverse fields
for the past 30 years, and has more than
20 years' experience in floral design.
The fee for this workshop is $35.
Participants
should bring
pruners or
floral scissors,
plus interesting
plant materials
from their
gardens (twigs,
cones, berries,
evergreen
branches, moss,
lichens). A variety
of plant materials
will also be
provided by the instructor.
