Create a Winter
Wreath and Swag Class will be held at Lakeside Park
Pavilion in Fond du Lac
Back by popular demand, please join us for the class
“Create a Winter Wreath and Swag” with Jackie Scharfenberg
on Thursday, November 17, 2011 from 6:00 to 8:30 pm at the
Lake Side Park Pavilion. The pavilion is in the park right
next to Lake Winnebago at 71 Promen Drive, Fond du Lac. We
moved the class to the pavilion as it is not carpeted and
it will be easier for us to clean-up afterwards!
Using a variety of natural materials, we will create a
beautiful wreath and swag that will enhance your home’s
winter decor. We will incorporate dried wildflowers and
grasses from the prairie and evergreen boughs. Please bring
along pruning shears and $15.00 to cover material costs.
Jackie Scharfenberg is a Forest Naturalist/Natural
Resources Educator with the Wisconsin Department of Natural
Resources. Over the past 25 years, she has worked as an
educator for the Great Blue Heron Girl Scout Council,
Retzer Nature Center, Havenwoods State Forest, and
currently for the Northern Kettle Moraine State Forest. She
enjoys teaching all aspects of environmental education. Her
goal is to get people connected or re-connected with the
natural world, if it be through creating a nature craft,
learning something about nature, trying a new outdoor skill
or experiencing nature first hand.
To register for the class, please call Connie Ramthun,
Education Coordinator for the Gottfried Prairie and
Arboretum at 920-533-8939. The material fee of $15.00 will
be collected the night of the class.
