HOMEMADE WREATH AND GARLAND MAKING
WITH
LYN MUTH, FILOLI CERTIFIED
ASSISTED BY
LORI LUNDBURG
Our Miss Lyn, making a beautiful garland for mantals. She is Filoli certified. Her and Lori had a great time with our workshopees.

Her example of making a wreath. All items gathered where from around her house.




Here is a picture of some of the items that she used to make the wreath with and center into the garland.





Miss Lyn answering questions from our workshop attendees. Even Dan Wheat Sr enjoyed the class.


Getting ready to do her thing. We love that everyone had such a good time. They keep coming back and bringing more friends with them to attend the FREE workshops.
She used an old wire hanger to make her wreath with and used garden twine to start her garland with along with 24 gauge wire in a roll from the hardware store. She had a good pair of gloves, along several pair of pliers. She also showed them how to take the battery operated single window candles and place them in the garlands. She answered questions about drying fruit to hang along with the berries in either the garland or wreaths.

My name is April. I run the nursery at A to Z Supply. I am Dans' oldest child. I love to garden when I have the time. I picked up on the gardening bug from my dad and Grandfather. I also love to do all kinds of crafts, cook and just hang out. I read when I get the chance. I am an advocate for Type 1 Diabetes. Just locally! I support CSA, and other local farms as much as I can. Stop by and see me at the nursery. I am there almost every day.

Daily Journal of the Garden Center goings on.

Tonight, Tomato Preserving in the Garden Center. Made a batch last night to show and taste for workshopees......

Start dehydrating tomatoes this morning. They will be ready for the workshop.

Yum! Hope to see you there.
