This 2 hour long, aromatherapy-infused session will teach you about a range of winter garden plant specialists: pine, spruce, junipers and more. Not only will you leave feeling happier and more alert (due to the smell-effect of winter branches on people’s mental health), but you will have created a beautiful winter display to be used on your front step or driveway over the holiday season and beyond. Participants will learn the value of native plant species and will clip some of their own branches for their displays while building a beautiful winter pot to take home.
Date: Sunday, December 9th, 2018 1:00 pm – 3:00
Location: The Clubhouse at the Cochrane Ranche (lower level)
Fee: members $40 plus GST totalling $42
non-members pay an additional $5 to C&DHS on day of workshop
Deadline to Register: Tuesday, December 4th, 2018
Participant Limit: 20
Participants are asked to bring gardening gloves and a pruner.
Size of winter pot to be created: 12 “wide by 12” deep

The Cochrane & District Horticultural Society was founded in April 2005 by local gardeners unified by their love of gardening. We serve Cochrane and surrounding district with varied activities focused on education and sharing gardening expertise & experience in Hardiness Zone 2a and 2b with Chinook conditions!
We have monthly meetings from Sept through May(excepting Nov/Dec when we have our annual Xmas workshop) with guest speakers, preserves and photo competitions and lively round table discussions. We also enjoy touring member gardens, field trips, workshops, plant trials & plant exchanges.
We are as varied as the plants in our gardens but we all have one thing in common. WE LOVE GARDENING!
