There is nothing more festive than gathering with friends at Blandy to create your own holiday wreath. In fact, it’s almost a 40-year tradition!

Wreath makers at Blandy can select from a wide variety of greens and natural adornments collected right here at the State Arboretum of Virigina as well as other local tree farms and nurseries. Tables of ribbons and expert wreath making instructors are on hand to help you create a one-of-a-kind wreath to take home and celebrate this winter season.

Your wreath making fun at Blandy also contributes to this giving season time of year, with proceeds from these workshops benefiting the Foundation of the State Arboretum of Virigina and its many collections and educational programming.

This year's holiday workshops will take place December 7th through December 9th and offer the options of creating a 12" wreath for $60 or a 20" wreath for $75.
