From Garden to Décor—Preserving Natural Beauty

Adult Ed Botanical Arts Decor

New! Discover how to bring the beauty of the outdoors into your home with this inspiring workshop. Begin with a guided stroll through the display gardens, where you will learn to spot and collect natural materials—like leaves, flowers, and seedpods—that add charm and style to your décor. Then head indoors to explore simple, effective techniques for drying and preserving your finds. Create a beautifully preserved eucalyptus branch using glycerin, perfect for long-lasting arrangements or displays. Dress for the weather; class will move indoors in inclement weather.
