About the Program

Get into the holiday spirit! Members are invited to join us for our annual wreath making workshop and enjoy a delightful afternoon at the San Francisco Botanical Garden. Carey Craddock and Jordan Kushins will guide you through the process of creating a festive seasonal wreath utilizing locally sourced evergreens, eucalyptus, and botanical accents. 

Whether it’s your first time making a wreath or you’re a seasoned DIYer, you’ll leave with a handmade creation that brings holiday cheer into your home. Many members return year after year, making this a beloved seasonal tradition. 

Savor light refreshments and warm wassail—a spiced cider tradition sure to make your spirits bright. 

Your ticket includes fresh greenery, a 12” round wire wreath form, and paddle wire (with access to wire cutters). Please feel free to bring your own ribbon, bows, seasonal accents, or garden gloves to make your wreath truly yours. Children are welcome! Fun for ages 7 and up. Children must be accompanied by an adult (18+).
