- There is no heat in the farm market … dress warm in layers rather than heavy coats, so you’ll be able to freely move about while working.
- When working with evergreens, your hands may get sappy. Bring gloves if you prefer.
- If you have a set of pruners that you’re comfortable using, bring those along too. If not, we’ve got them for you to use.
- Choose your special Christmas project from our list above.
- Space is limited. A $20 non-refundable deposit will reserve your class spot … SIGN UP HERE. Deposit will be deducted from your project total … final project cost will be determined upon project completion, & must be paid at the end of class. Cash, personal checks, Visa, MC, & Discover accepted.
- Although all projects are made with fresh evergreens & will last through December, centerpieces are best made closer to Christmas to keep them fresh since they’ll be used indoors.
