Celebrate the Season with your own special touches…
Join friends and create a natural, fragrant, and recyclable wreath of green bowers, burlap bows, pinecones, and berries.
You’ll make 2 wreathes – your first learning wreath to donate to Garden of Lights and your second perfection wreath to take home.
You don’t have to be crafty to do this well, come to have fun with friends while you sip hot apple cider!

“Food is hard on the budget these days. I believe fresh food that hasn’t been sprayed with chemicals and that is grown naturally is important. Teaching our kids how to grow their own food is also very important. Our food needs to be nutritious. Groundswell is a perfect opportunity to do just this. I love supporting locally grown food and a place where children have hands-on experience growing food is amazing.
I look forward to supporting Groundswell by taking photos for $15/family of each of you attending the Garden of Lights evening. Capturing a special memory for you makes my holiday season bright.”
“Thank you Barb and all the groundswell team for the wonderful workshop of the wreath building. We had so much fun a real girls night out for us. Looking forward to the Christmas display !”
– Laura Evans
