Learn how to craft an evergreen Yuletide garland to hang in your home, whilst sipping freshly mulled wassail!

In this hands-on workshop, you’ll learn the symbolism associated with the use of pinecones, cranberries, various herbs, and the significance of evergreens such as pine, hemlock, and juniper. You will choose what you would like to use when creating your personalized Yuletide garland. The cost of the workshop is $45 and includes all materials needed to craft one swag.
