Foraged Arrangements & Wreaths - Saturday, November 22nd (23rd rain date),
Create one-of-a-kind creations from foraged materials to adorn your table and house for Thanksgiving.
Let’s gather to make one-of-a-kind creations to decorate our homes and tables just in time for Thanksgiving! This exciting, artistic program invites participants of all ages and abilities to engage with nature in new, imaginative ways.
There are two ticket options to choose from:
1) Hike the meadow and woods to forage, then create (2-4pm)
2) Create only/No Hike (2-3pm) (this is a good option for anyone with challenged mobility)
We will meet in the field by the community garden behind the farmhouse and begin the program with an introduction and creative inspiration. Non-hikers can spend their time working on their creations. Hikers will be led through the meadow and margins of the fields at Onatru to gather bits of nature we each find beautiful, after which we will return to tables to produce our arrangements or wreaths.
Please plan to bring your own pruning shears, scissors, bucket or basket for collecting cuttings on the hike, vase or wreath frame you may want to use in your creation. You are welcome to bring anything you've foraged prior to the event or other embellishments. We will supply wire, glue, and have a limited amount of tools for use. We will have pre-made vine wreaths and recycled vases available for a suggested $5 donation.
Steady rain or other inclement weather, will move the program to the following day, November 23rd. Rain on both days will cancel the program. This event is recommended for all ages. Sorry, we do not recommend bringing dogs to this event. Sturdy shoes are recommended if you are participating in the foraging portion of the program.
Advance registration is required so that we can plan for supplies and volunteers. PLEASE DO NOT NO SHOW. If you are unable to attend, please cancel your registration as we expect to have a waitlist for this program.
