Wreath Making Workshop

We are a dedicated group interested in preserving Darts Hill Garden Park as a plantsman’s garden. Inspired by the spirit and vision of Francisca Darts who— with her husband Edwin—so graciously donated the property to the City of Surrey, the Society seeks to continue the development of the garden and to extend opportunities to the public to enjoy the garden as well as to make their own special contributions.The City of Surrey worked directly with Francisca Darts in the development of a purpose, vision and overall guiding principles for the garden. This ensures that in the future the garden will continue to be managed in accordance with her wishes.The City and the Society are excited about the future of Darts Hill Garden Park. The garden is a place of horticultural learning, where enthusiastic amateur gardeners rub shoulders with professional horticulturists to view some of the finest and most mature horticultural specimens in the Pacific Northwest.

Join us to make your own festive holiday wreath

Darts Hill Garden Park - Maple Activity Center

Explore your creativity using a mix of foliage from Darts Hill Garden Park to create your own unique Christmas wreath with Rosina Mak, Consulting Arborist. You&#x27;ll use fresh greens cut from the garden and work in our outdoor Maple Activity Center. Participants must bring secateurs or sharp scissors and a pair of gloves. Bring your own wreath making supplies or purchase from the workshop. Please dress warmly and in layers.  Space limited to 10 per session, families welcome.Equipment each participant should bring:<ol><li>secateurs, small wire cutters, small measuring ruler to make consistent bunches of three – five cuts</li><li>gardening gloves</li></ol>Supplies each participant should bring (or will be provided if you purchase a wreath making kit): 12 inch grapevine wreath or wire form 6 or so  newspaper pages to bulk up the wire rima green garbage bag of cut greens, (and cones) a paddle of green floral wire, max 22 gauge We will have a selection of cut branches available from Darts Hill Garden, some with berries and cones. If you have some specific foliage in mind bring it along as our supply and collection is limited. It is surprising how much material is needed to tie around a 12 inch wreath form, and much, much more is used around a larger form. Variegated evergreen plant material, such as variegated Daphne, Osmanthus and holly is good for wreath making. Avoid cotoneaster as the red berries drop quickly and stain surfacesLocationThe workshop will take place outside in the Maple Activity Center, north of the Propagation area, please park in the staff parking lot located at 1680 168th Avenue.
