The holidays are right around the corner. For many residents, attending the Vermilion County Master Gardeners' Wreath Making Class is a favorite tradition. Master Gardeners Pat Sollars and Sheri Walker will again demonstrate how to create a beautiful wreath with fresh evergreens.

Attendees will make their own masterpieces to take home. A $20 fee includes a metal wreath ring, floral wire, pinecones, a bow, and a variety of fresh evergreens. Attendees can bring decorations to add their own personal style. Master Gardeners will be on hand to make bows. Attendees may also wish to bring hand pruners to trim branches and garden gloves to protect their hands.

This year’s program will be on Tuesday, December 5, at 6 p.m. It will take place at the First Presbyterian Church gymnasium, 100 N. Franklin St. in Danville, IL. Register now, as this class fills up quickly, and we are unable to take walk-ins.
