In this talk, Jill will demonstrate how to make a seasonal dried flower wreath using sustainable materials, with a focus on native California plants. She’ll share techniques for drying flowers and creating the wreath, demonstrate how to start and finish your creation and identify some useful garden flowers you can start in the ground now to enjoy next year. These dried arrangements are made to be enjoyed for years or can be composted in their entirety when the season is over.
Please note that Jill will only demonstrate how to make a California native plant wreath; there will be no audience participation.
