~ A fundraiser in support of the Ahart Herbarium at Chico State ~ 100% of the proceeds will be donated to FOAH to support the mission of the Ahart Herbarium. Saturday, December 7, 2024 Back by popular demand! Learn more about California native plants while you create a unique holiday wreath. Many of our native chaparral shrubs and forest trees are evergreen, and can remain fragrant for years after drying. Join us for an afternoon of creativity and good cheer!
1:00 – 4:00 PM
HOLT Hall, Room 129
We provide wreath frames, tools, and a wide selection of native plant trimmings, such as incense cedar (Calocedrus decurrens), coast redwood (Sequoia sempervirens), sages (Salvia spp.), manzanitas (Arctostaphylos spp.), buckbrush (Ceanothus cuneatus) and California bay (Umbellularia californica). Embellishments for your wreaths will range from native buckeye seeds (Aesculus californica), acorns (Quercus lobata), berries (Heteromeles arbutifolia), and infructescences of Matilija poppy (Romneya coulteri), spicebush (Calycanthus occidentalis), and Cleveland sage (Salvia clevelandii). We will share botanical and ethnobotanical information about all the native plants we use. You are welcome to bring additional plant clippings you especially want to use, including any you need us to identify.
