Winter Solstice: Crown, Candle, & Yule

Celebrate the Winter Solstice with Seasonal Crafts at New England Botanic Garden.

Immerse yourself in the beauty of nature, creativity, and festive cheer! This enchanting season invites you to embrace its charm through a delightful hands-on experience. Join us for coffee and tea while crafting a stunning floral crown centerpiece using an array of seasonal and dried blooms that capture the essence of winter's beauty.  

In this hands-on workshop, participants will learn about the tradition of the Yule log and its history as a symbol of warmth, protection, and renewal during the winter season. Participants will create their own Yule log to take home using a wooden base, seasonal greenery, dried citrus, candles, and other natural materials. As we craft, we will also explore the meaning behind some of the items traditionally used; such as evergreens holly, and cinnamon. 

All materials will be provided, though participants are welcome to bring their own small items or personal symbols to add. The goal is for each person to leave with a beautiful, meaningful centerpiece that can be displayed or shared with family during the winter season.
