During this creative, hands-on workshop, create a beautiful, hand-woven hanging basket out of brightly colored branches—and take home something spectacular.
Practice weaving techniques and how to select the best branches. Then, plant your new basket with a variety of cool-weather annuals and leafy greens, perfect for any front porch. Use your new-found skills later on, as the techniques covered in this class can be applied to any wire frame baskets you have at home.
