Everlasting Hydrangea Wreath

The two of you each go home with a 22” wreath, our signature wreath actually, hydrangea!

Join us in the Distillery Historic District, for our annual Evergreen Luncheon. Be inspired by Vintage Gardener’s own Elaine and Anna Martin as they demonstrate this season’s top 5 key looks for Festive Decorating. They’ll share tips on the best evergreens to use for both indoor and outdoor festive décor. Floral Decoratives include potted plantings of amaryllis, cyclamen, gardenia and variegated ivy, topiaries, dried and fresh floral creations for a grand entrance to your home, to cozy your kitchen and even decorate your powder room. They will show you how to simply and elegantly, entwine garlands, wreaths, swags, centrepieces, mantel décor, well you get the picture!

Vintage Gardener’s Evergreen Festival continues November 26 to December 15. Visit The Distillery Historic District throughout the festival, sip on cider and shop our outdoor evergreen market for garlands, wreaths, berries, branches and bundles.

Attend workshops and make your own festive evergreen works of art. (Create your own private workshop for clients, staff, family or friends – just give us call)

Elaine is a popular guest speaker and her work has been featured in top magazines in both New York and Canada, and many of your favourite TV shows, like City Line TV’s Christmas Special.

Ode to Joy Floral Everlasting

Choose from a variety of handcrafted stone planters, in which you will fashion a romantic arrangement with dried flowers, hydrangea, roses, etc., and berries, rosehips and dried mini pomegranates.

The tones are all in the burgundy, pink, rose and red family – and it does indeed look very joyful.

Festive Provence Everlasting

In a handsome wicker window box, you will create a festive arrangement of dried flowers, herbs, berries and pomegranates, in the tradition of Provence -- think Pierre Deux -- with the bold blues, mustards and crimson tones.

Entwine evergreens, like white pine and berried juniper, along with magnolia and seeded eucalyptus and add fresh hydrangea blossoms, rose hips and pomegranates. Outdoors this will last until the spring! Indoors it will take you through past New Year’s Day.

Last year we sold this wreath in our studio for $295, so it is quite a savings when you make it yourself.

For those who like a more formal look, this centrepiece fits the bill! Arrive early to choose your container from our wonderful collection and get ready to start!

Made mostly of fresh greenery and magnolia, you add your choice of white or red roses and set it off with taper candles.

The greenery will last well past your New Year’s celebration, and the
roses can be replaced when needed throughout the holiday season.

We loved this arrangement so much that we thought it was worth repeating! And so, you will be making two! In two matching hand-crafted stone urns you will create a pair of festive florals with evergreens and pomegranates and roses.

The roses will dry if you like, or you can pop them out and tuck in new ones as the season progresses. Add a pillar candle and set them on your dining room table, or mantel.

There is an element of surprise to this one! Ever so cleverly, you will put together what seems a charming metal window box of greenery, twigs, pomegranates and rosehips – and then the surprise!

Tuck in three potted Amaryllis bulbs and watch them grow up through the arrangement – and become the three kings! (order up a co-ordinating side planter if you'd like - $125)

You will set the season’s best greenery – BC cedar, white pine, blue berried juniper, seeded eucalyptus and the like, into a water- tight floral tray (this way it protects your mantel and you can keep watering the arrangement to last throughout the season).

Then lace it with berries, lavender, magnolia, hydrangea, and pomegranates. Top it off with festive French Ribbon – and well – magnificent!

Very pretty indeed – this is a planting of live plants – all white of course – white amaryllis, white cyclamen, paper whites, variegated ivy, ferns, set in a white planter and topped off with golden curly willow. This is really quite elegant.
