Now's your chance to turn your house into a beautiful Southern home for the holidays!

Come to the Gardens for a morning and watch as Carol decorates areas in Aldridge House and out in the Gardens to show you how to liven up mantels, mailboxes, lamp posts and entry halls using Alabama greens such as yew, magnolia, holly and nandina mixed with pine cones and berries. Then take that experience with you and reproduce the look in your own home for the holidays!

Bring gloves, clippers, scissors and cameras and join the fun and learn new techniques. Bring a roll of your favorite ribbon, and Carol will help you get started on making bows and suggest appropriate containers. Participants will receive a discount at Roots Garden and Gift Shop on the day of class. Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!
