Rich with history and symbolism, the wreath is a favorite Holiday decoration.  Every December, Olde Ripton Garden Club members decorate wreaths for locations throughout the community.

Members had choices of winterberry, holly, pinecones, dried hydrangea, and evergreen sprigs to decorate their individual wreaths – in the spirit of our dedication to conservation, we used only all-natural clippings and trimmings.

Linda Hooper helped members create colorful bows to add to their wreaths.

Around the room, some members worked individually while others worked in groups, lending their tools, materials, advice, and compliments.

With bows and trimmings, members decorated wreaths in their own individual styles.  Every wreath became a one-of-a-kind work of art with trimmings used in endless combinations.

Finished wreaths were tagged for locations throughout the community, and volunteers delivered them that afternoon.
