From the Vine

On November 22nd the Community Garden held a Florida Wreath Workshop for members and friends. The facilitator was Sheila Gutierrez who very thoughtfully demonstrated the creative uses of Florida vines and plants for making beautiful holiday wreaths. Participants learned to craft beautiful, one-of-a-kind wreaths from start to finish. Sheila showed everyone how to use pliable Florida vines to create the wreath base, then adorn it with a variety of natural elements like pinecones, Spanish moss, and dried seed pods. It was a great opportunity to learn a new skill, connect with local flora, and take home a unique piece of decor for your home. While all the materials were provided, the gardeners only needed to bring one thing – their imagination! Participants were smiling and laughing as they shared their final product
