Evergreen plants play an important role in supporting wildlife and managing micro-climates in your garden. In the winter this is especially helpful as they shelter our overwintering birds and other animals, break up heavy rainfalls into smaller droplets reducing the effects of erosion, and even help warm up the air around them to keep frost at bay. Join us to learn about these beautiful and important plants and celebrate using them to make wreaths, swags and even winter crowns to wear. Each participant will be able to pick up a kit of supplies provided by Marlene’s Market and the Garden Hotline.
