Melanie Welles Creamer, Mount Vernon’s Senior Manager of Horticulture, will teach participants how to line, fill and plant floral frames to create a cheery spring wreath using an assortment of delightful violas, also known as Johnny Jump-Ups.
Participants will take home their wreaths with care instructions.
This class requires standing and will be held outside. In the case of inclement weather, the class will be sheltered under a tent or in a workspace attached to the greenhouses. Please dress accordingly and wear comfortable shoes.
