Customer Reviews
4.8I had a fabulous time at the wreath-making workshop with Hanna, Ryan, and Given! The wreath I made turned out beautifully, and my mother-in-law (for whom it was a gift) was thrilled! The workshop was very well organized, and the handouts - with both instructions and inspiration pics - were perfect. I tucked them in with my Christmas boxes so that I will be ready for next year!
Registration was simple and the fee was a great value. There were knowledgable instructors giving easy to follow directions. The greenery provided for the wreaths was varied and plentiful. We had plenty of supplies and greenery including colorful holly berries. The instruction to use the materials and our creativity to make a beautiful wreath to take home. Thank you for this opportunity.
It was so much fun making a Christmas wreath. The variety of greenery was abundant. Hannah, Ryan and Given were so helpful and considerate. I was so engaged in making my wreath that I forgot to enjoy the tasty drink treat that was provided. The entire experience was most delightful. I greatly appreciate the opportunity and look forward to attending the event again next year, if it is offered. Thank you so much!
Excellent class! Zack is a very good instructor.
I would have given this workshop a 5 star review if it had been more hands on rather than just a power point presentation with side visuals. Robert was very knowledgeable and super pleasant.
I learned a lot and also found out that I knew a lot about winterizing the garden.
Such a great course! The teacher was knowledgeable and answered questions well. I was thankful to take this class and know that what I learned will be useful later.
