The Wreathery Open House
Saturday December 4th &11th, 2021 * 9:00 AM – 4:00 PM
Wreath-maker, Phillip Lobaugh says: “This past spring I read an article in Country Gardens about the historic language of flowers…
If a flower arrangement can have a message, why not wreaths” For example, a wreath of pine, spruce and arborvitae decorated with poinsettias and holly berries would send this message: Be of good cheer, may our friendship be unchanging, your holiday filled with Christmas joy, and may you have hope when faced by adversity.”
Or a wild grapevine wreath decorated with cedar, magnolia leaves, corn, wheat, oranges, lemons, and pineapple would say: “You are welcome and may your future be filled with riches and prosperity, generosity, dignity, strength, charity, sweetness, and zest.”
Not only will there be wreaths of evergreen and grapevine, but also swags tabletop trees, decorated frames, greens for your own decorating and design, and grapevine snowmen. The beauty of local evergreens will be enhanced with ribbons in Christmas colors of red, gold, burgundy, and plaid, cones, berries, apples, and nuts.
Wreaths & Swags will be available at:
