HOLIDAY WREATH Make & Take
Sat, Nov. 22, 2025
10:30 AM – 12:00 PM
With Ruth Gonzalez
Create a lux holiday wreath full of color and texture to brighten your holidays. We’ll embellish a fresh Frasier fir wreath with a beautiful mix of greenery, berries, and pinecones that will welcome in the season with cheer and style. Ruth will lead us step-by-step through the process and you’ll take home a ready-to-hang wreath by the end of the workshop!
Get creative with us. Make a date with your friends and family to come together!
$75 + tax: Includes all the materials needed to create your wreath including instruction, a fresh Frasier fir door-sized wreath along with all the embellishments – colorful mixed greenery, berries, and pinecones.
**The wreaths we create will be similar to the wreath pictured above, but greenery, berries, and pinecones may vary based on seasonal availability.
You are welcome to bring embellishments from home or to purchase additional embellishments at Reems Creek Nursery to add to your wreath. Toward the end of the workshop Ruth will demonstrate how to add a bow to your wreath. Feel free to pre-purchase bows in the Garden Shop prior to the workshop to add to your wreath.
Please bring your own scissors/pruners from home.

About Ruth Gonzalez: Ruth loves decorating for the holidays using natural elements like a variety of greenery, berries, cones, and lichen. Her advice? Whether you’re making wreaths or arranging flowers - always gather way more than you think you’ll need. You’ll still need more!
Ruth grew up running a little wild in her family’s woods and watching the "diamonds on the water" glittering on the bay in front of her home. As a child she witnessed her mother, grandmother and aunts using foraged flowers, vines, and evergreens to decorate for the holidays. Ruth, along with her daughters, sisters, and cousins continue that tradition today - always appreciating the gorgeousness of the natural world.
An artist, occasional garden designer, and an NC Certified Plant Professional, Ruth has actively gardened since her college years and worked at Reems Creek Nursery since 2003. Organic gardening, pollinator habitat, and the wonders of nature are her passions. She serves on the Steering Committee of Bee City USA-Asheville and the Ashville Butterfly Trail. She is especially inspired by those gardening practices that nurture the planet and its creatures, and that reignite our connection to beauty, delight, and all of nature.
