Wreath-Making Getaway
Come enjoy the beautiful scenery and make an all-natural wreath to take home. We'll show you how to make a wreath from materials that grow naturally in the wild or perhaps are already growing in your own backyard. Wreaths can be made from a wide variety of materials. Our products come from nature and return to nature as edible birdfeeders. Most designs are meant to initially grace the home before returning to nature to feed the birds. Some designs are nearly completely edible while other designs engage more flowers for color variation. All grains, grasses and flowers composing the designs are entirely natural. Our package includes 1 night lodging in Bobolink, our onsite lodging, and a 2-hour wreath-making class. Bobolink sleeps 6 people, but we can accommodate up to 10 people wih the use of the rustic cabin included with the package. Bobolink has a kitchen - meals are on you own!
