2026 Dates Set For December 5th - 7th
There is nothing more festive than gathering with friends at Blandy to create your own holiday wreath. In fact, it’s a 40-year tradition!
Wreath makers at Blandy can select from a wide variety of greens and natural adornments collected right here at the State Arboretum of Virginia as well as other local tree farms and nurseries. Tables of ribbons and expert wreath making instructors are on hand to help you create a one-of-a-kind wreath to take home and celebrate this winter season.
Two 20-particpant classes will be held each day, Saturday, December 5th, Sunday, December 6th, and Monday, December 7th at 9:30 am and 1:30 pm. Wreath prices this year will remain the same at $60 for a 12" wreath, or $75 for a 20"wreath. All proceeds benefit Blandy Experimental Farm and the State Arboretum of Virginia.
This event sells out quickly every year.
