Description of project: Each participant will make one holiday centerpiece using a candlestick holder base (provided by the participant), floral oasis, and a combination of live, dried, and natural decorations. By switching out some decorations, the centerpiece can last from Thanksgiving through Valentine’s Day.

Amount of time, number of sessions: This workshop can be accomplished in one of two ways.
1. Peg brings all needed supplies (except for candlestick holders) and some basic materials. She leads the group on an outdoor walk of the neighborhood/area, where they will collect materials to be used in the centerpiece. This option is preferred, and requires a total of 3 hours for gathering materials and making the centerpiece. Participants should bring a pair of clippers or garden shears if possible.
2. Peg brings all needed supplies and materials (except for candlesticks). This option requires a total of 90 minutes to make the centerpiece.
