If you haven’t had the opportunity to take one of these workshops, take time this year to come back and make a wreath or a tree with us. And if you have taken these workshops before then you know how fun they are, come back and join us again this year. Our greenery is due to arrive Nov 19th. We hit the ground running when the greenery makes it to our door. A limited amount of time and a bunch or decorations to be made. Most years it seems like a blur, but I can safely say I think all of us at Thienemans enjoy this time of year. Even if you don’t make it back for one of our workshops, we invite you to come back and spend some time in our cozy greenhouses. Already finished wreaths and tabletop trees will be for sale.

Call us to sign up for a workshop, 502.296.1499. If you have a minimum of 5 people, we are open to scheduling a class for you and your friends.
