During this program Laurie will talk about how versatile the branches of a willow tree can be. She will also discuss how and when she harvests the branches from her willow trees and uses them to create unique pieces to include in her home. Each participant will then get to make either a willow wreath or door hanger to take home with them.
All of the supplies needed to help you create your own unique piece will be provided for you.
