Each holiday season, Smithsonian Gardens staff provide the inspired flower arrangements, trees, and decorations that enliven Smithsonian museums and buildings during this festive time of year. They are also the artists responsible for turning seedpods, evergreens, and colorful stems into unique creations that fill the urns, adorn the gates, and hang from the lampposts of the museum gardens.
Meet at the Smithsonian Castle to view the holiday decorations before taking a wintry walk through the bedecked grounds with Smithsonian Gardens horticulturist Christine Price-Abelow. Then, retreat to the warmth of the Ripley Center to create a one-of-a-kind wreath inspired by the botanical decorations seen in the gardens. Light holiday refreshments and all wreath-making materials provided.
One 2.5-hour session
