Hort for the Holidays

Gardeners know that nature provides the best décor! At Hort for the Holidays, we’ll turn simple pinecones into stunning pinecone trees that celebrate the textures and tones of the season. From fall through winter, pinecones pair beautifully with greenery, berries, and other natural finds — join us to explore fresh ideas and bring a touch of the garden indoors.

Join U of I Extension Master Gardeners Brenda Smith, Ann Somers, and Martha Ebner on Saturday, November 22, from 10:00 to 11:30 a.m. for this hands-on workshop. This year's Hort for the Holidays will take place at the Winnebago County Extension office, located at 1040 N. 2nd Street, Rockford. There is a $20 fee to attend, and all necessary supplies are provided.  

If you would like to bring additional items to add to your pine cone tree, please feel free to do so. There will be refreshments provided. So gather your besties and join us to have fun and be creative.  

Register today, as space is limited to 15 attendees.
