Holiday Floral Decorations with Madeline Yanni
Posted in Adult Education, Holiday Train Show, Learning Experiences on November 23 2011, by Joyce Newman
For the first time in the Holiday Train Show’s 20-year history, you too can learn how to create architectural replicas from natural materials, just like the landmarks featured in our Conservatory displays.
Join Madeline Yanni, The New York Botanical Garden’s expert floral and crafts designer on December 17 for a special, hands-on class. Madeline will help you explore various architectural styles and crafting techniques, after which you can choose from an assortment of dried botanicals, like seed pods, bark, and branches, to make your own model. You’ll need to bring lunch, as well as a box large enough to put your models in.
Madeline will also be creating beautiful holiday topiary trees on December 3, showing you how to craft fragrant and exquisite designs for your own home. You can get to know her in this how-to video on wreath-making, then check below the video for class dates, times, and reservation information:
December 3, 10 a.m. to 1 p.m.
Create a fragrant, attractive topiary as a unique display for your own home.
December 17, 10 a.m. to 2:30 p.m.
Make your own landmark building replicas, like those seen in the NYBG’s Holiday Train Show, using nothing but all-natural materials.
