Can't wait to see you for these holiday events!
The workshop will be hosted by Jessicka "Joosey" Chamberlin and Christina O'Connor.
Joosey is a CNGF volunteer and board member who grew up on a Christmas Tree Farm in Carlisle, Pennsylvania. For 25 years, her family ran a Christmas shop where they created and sold artisanal holiday wreaths and arrangements. Joosey will share her talents at this hands-on workshop by teaching us how to use native foraged plants to make gorgeous wreaths that will bring holiday spirit and welcome your guests throughout the season!
Christina O’Connor has been a central force at California Native Garden Foundation for the past seven years. An amazing cook, plant whisperer, decorating denizen with an extraordinary eye for beauty, and life of every party, Christina brings joy wherever she goes.
Joosey and Christina will be accompanied by experienced CNGF volunteers to ensure that we all enjoy our afternoon of holiday delight and nature's abundance.
