Holiday Centerpiece Workshop
Thursday, 7-9 pm • WSU Extension Center Conference Room, 1000 N. Forest St Ste 201, Bellingham
There will be a long-awaited workshop led by our award-winning Master Gardener and floral expert, Judy Boxx, to make stunning Holiday Centerpieces. Join us for fun and walk away with a centerpiece you’ll treasure for years.
Cost: $1.00 for foam blocks and trays
Bring: greenery, candles, ornaments, wire, ribbon—for yourself and extras to share. You’ll need to bring a shallow bowl or container, as well, in which you’ll create your centerpiece. And just for kicks, if you have any holiday cookies hanging around, bring them, too!
