Wildcrafting Workshops
Our Wildcrafting Workshops occur every Saturday in November. They’re a wonderful way to spend a few hours, getting creative with foraged and repurposed items that you can keep or gift. We provide everything – tools, supplies, and even lunch for the longer workshops. Register early – space is very limited for each class!
- All workshops are held in the ASD Greenhouse, 17444 Singingwood Lane, Bristol, VA
- Registration links are under each event.
