It's time to unwind and discover the art of decorating your festive table. Linda, our expert, will showcase two exquisite table decoration styles using locally grown evergreen foliage, fresh winter blooms and dried materials.

After Linda's demonstration you'll have the opportunity to craft your very own bowl arrangement. The price covers everything you'll need, from materials to the bowl and tools, along with comfy aprons. Just remember to bring gloves if you have sensitive hands.
