Make Your Own Special Holiday Wreath at SOHS Hanley Farm!

Once you’ve finished your “Black Friday” shopping, head over to SOHS Hanley Farm on Saturday, November 29. From 11am to 3pm, the Southern Oregon Historical Society will host its annual wreath making workshop—an opportunity to relax, forget the hustle and bustle, tap your creativity, and go home with your own special holiday decoration.

Wreath kits come with either grapevine or fruitwood bases from vines at Hanley Farm plus evergreens, berries, and special trimmings like dried hydrangeas and pinecones from the farm and the yards of volunteers. Wires, clippers, and ribbon will be available along with help with your artistry from longtime wreath makers and volunteers. You may also bring your own special ribbon, trimming, and ornaments.

Wreath making kits are $20 ($15 for SOHS members). Reservations are not required!

Take a photo with Santa and our Big Red Christmas truck. Children will have a chance to whisper their secrets into Santa’s ear. One of Santa’s elves will have a candy cane for each child.

SOHS Hanley Farm is located at 1053 Hanley Road in Central Point.

Hosted by the Rogue Valley YMCA
