Event Summary
Nothing says “Winter Holidays” more than the smell of fresh evergreens; perhaps that is why there are so many candles, air fresheners and oils attempting to duplicate the scent. Why not go with the real thing. Welcome the holiday season with a fragrant, homemade evergreen porch pot. Learn about common Iowa evergreens and hardwoods while assembling a variety of fresh evergreen cuttings and white and red twig accents into a festive pot. Then add your own personal touches to make it uniquely yours. (We will supply some pots, evergreens, birch and dogwood twigs, ribbon and natural accent items. If you have a pot you would like to use or if you would like to add seasonal balls, silks or specific ribbons, please bring those along.) At the end of the session, participants will take home a porch pot that will serve as a warm welcome to anyone visiting this holiday season!
Individuals can make more than one porch pot or several participants can work together to complete a single one. REGISTER ONE ADULT FOR EACH PORCH POT DESIRED. Youth under 14 must have an adult present to help them complete the porch pot.
