Gifts of Nature Coming To Boxerwood This Saturday

Gifts Of Nature This Saturday December 8th at 1pm at Boxerwood: Gather with other local families at Munger Lodge to craft a holiday feast for the birds and wildlife that winter in Rockbridge. Honeysuckle wreaths, dried fruit icicles, cranberry garlands and suet-and-seed cupcakes are among the creature treats you can make at Boxerwood’s annual Gifts of Nature workshop. Families are also encouraged to bring burned-out incandescent light bulbs (not compact fluorescents) and last year’s holiday cards to repurpose and transform into beautiful Christmas ornaments.  The fee to  participate is $5/family for Boxerwood members or $10/family for non-members. Boxerwood will provide vines, cones, winter berries, and greenery harvested from the woodland garden, as well as suet, raffia, ribbon and other project supplies. Families are asked to contribute one type of wildlife food, such as seeds, nuts, dried fruit, popcorn, citrus or fresh cranberries that will be shared by all participants.
