BELVIDERE, Ill. — Add a touch of natural magic to your holiday season with Gifts from the Garden: Potpourri and Simmer Pots, a hands-on workshop offered by the Boone County Master Gardeners.
The program will take place Saturday, November 21, from 10 to 11 a.m. at the Boone County Extension office, 205 Cadillac Court, Suite 5, Belvidere. Participants will discover creative ways to transform nature’s bounty into beautiful, thoughtful gifts perfect for the holiday season.
Whether you're looking for cozy cottage-inspired décor, a homemade hostess gift, or a little seasonal inspiration, this workshop offers an opportunity to explore natural ingredients and create something special. Each participant will make two projects to take home — one to keep and one to share with someone special.
The program fee is $10 per participant. Registration opens October 22 and closes at 5 p.m. November 20, or when the class reaches capacity. Advance registration is required, and payment will not be accepted at the door on the day of the event.
