Our DS wreath-making workshops offered a creative, hands-on experience where participants designed and assembled their own decorative wreaths. Guided by our incredible staff, everyone worked together to choose materials, build fine motor skills, and express creativity in a supportive group setting.

Filled with laughter, teamwork, seasonal spirit, and the fresh scent of evergreens, three workshop sessions resulted in 31 beautiful wreaths—created by 21 clients, 10 staff members, and one home provider. Each wreath was a unique reflection of collaboration, creativity, and community.
