What could be more welcoming than a fragrant, handcrafted herb wreath to greet your guests this holiday season? Join nationally renowned herb expert, Sal Gilbertie, for a do-it-yourself wreath-making workshop at The Connecticut Audubon Society Center at Fairfield on Saturday, Nov. 18, from 10 a.m. to noon.
Using fresh and dried herbs harvested from Gilberties’ herb farm, participants will create a 15-inch decorative wreath that incorporates and balances the colors and textures of organic culinary herbs including fresh bay and rosemary, dried dill, oregano, sage, lavender, and others. Your dried wreath will last for several years if occasionally misted with lukewarm water and kept away from direct, bright light and out of the weather.
The cost for the workshop is $45 for CAS members; $50 for nonmembers. All materials will be supplied; please bring scissors. Pre-registration is required at www.ctaudubon.org/center-at-fairfield, or call 203-259-6305, ext. 109. The Connecticut Audubon Society’s Center at Fairfield is located at 2325 Burr Street in Fairfield.
