Bring a little of our Botanical Garden home for the holidays!

Join Brunswick County Extension Master Gardener℠ volunteers for a hands-on workshop and create a one-of-a-kind seasonal porch pot using fresh greenery gathered throughout our Botanical Garden.

You’ll design with an assortment of textures, colors and foliage—from pine, magnolia and holly to Podocarpus and other garden favorites. Add berries, bows and festive accents to make the design your own.

We provide everything you need—the pot, freshly cut greenery and decorative materials. Master Gardener volunteers will be there to offer design ideas, demonstrate techniques and help you create an arrangement you’ll be proud to take home.

Create. Design. Enjoy. Then take home a little piece of the Botanical Garden for the holidays.
