Program: Workshops with Jennifer Price
The same workshop options will be available at a
9am-12noon workshop and a 1pm-4pm workshop.
You may sign up for one or both!

Option 1: Members with Trident maples or gardenias from Jennifer’s past workshops may bring those back to continue their styling with her help. Cost $60
Option 2: Bring Your Own Tree (any species or stage) for Jennifer’s guidance with styling and care. Cost $60
The club is also looking into purchasing a limited amount of trees at different price points for members to purchase for the workshops if they want to add a tree to their collection. We hope to have representative photos and prices at the September meeting. IMPORTANT NOTE: A tree will not be purchased for you until payment is received for both the workshop and tree! Sign up sheets will be available at the meetings or email gnobs26@gmail.com and someone will get back to you for sign up and to arrange payment.
