Make a Winter Wreath Using Native Evergreens at Virginia's Newest State Park: 

Powhatan State Park!

Participates will lbe able to make a one of a kind winter wealth using
natural beauty of native evergreens.

With the leaves almost all fallen, the evergreen trees are more noticeable as you look at the forested landscapes of Virginia. Eastern Red Cedar, various species of pine trees and American Holly make their debut and herald in the soon to be winter season. What a great time of year. It is time for winter wreath making!

The workshop fee includes grave vine wreaths, floral wire, evergreens and an embellishment.
