November seminars at Garvan Woodland Gardens

Better Ways to Light Up the Holidays
November 26
2:30 - 5:00 p.m. - Magnolia Room
When it comes to Holiday lights, nobody does it better than the folks at Garvan Woodland Gardens! Join Garden staff on November 26 from 2:30-5:00 p.m., to learn the most efficient ways to light up your landscape. The holiday season is full of decorations, and Garvan Woodland Gardens would like to share our journey in conserving energy while offering one of the best Holiday light displays in the state. This hands-on workshop is sure to send you home with better ways to decorate your home this season. After the workshop, stay and enjoy a stroll through the Holiday Lights display and experience our glowing winter wonderland, including the new 50-ft. tall animated Scheuck Steel Holiday Tree.

Chester Morphew, Holiday Lights Supervisor, James Scallion, Holiday Lights Coordinator, and Bob Byers, Associate Executive Director, will host this 2 1/2 hour workshop in the Magnolia Room. There will be a 30-minute introduction to how the Gardens has transformed its methods of lighting and how the changes have benefited the Gardens, including a behind the scenes "Then and Now" of our LED transition. At 3:00 p.m. the group will split into three groups and will go to 3 separate stations in the Gardens. Bob, James and Chester will each have a table set up with a demonstration. The groups will rotate stations every 20 minutes for a total of 1 hour. Each station will have a different kind of light and will demonstrate how to use each type of light; i.e., icicle lighting vs. rope lighting. At 4:00 p.m., a question/answer session will be opened to the workshop attendees. At the workshop conclusion, workshop participants can be the first that day to attend Holiday Lights; admission to this class includes admission into Holiday Lights.

Space is limited, and advanced registration is required. For reservations, please call 501-262-9613 or 800-366-4664. Cost is $20 for members and $30 for non-members.
