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.

Come back and get some plants for some great deals. Fall is an excellent time to plant, it gives your garden a head start for spring. The plants have time to get situated in their new surroundings and then really show off next year. The sooner you visit, the better the selection.

Come in and make something beautiful for your garden. These classes are great excuses to get dirty and the perfect outlet for all of your creative energy. As always, we are open to scheduling a class specific to you and a group of friends. Just call and speak with Peggy and hopefully we can set something up for you. 502.296.1499
