Highlights from the Evergreen Festivalby Tara Nolan |
Last week, I was thrilled to be a part of Elaine Martin aka The Vintage Gardener’s Evergreen Festival. I helped Elaine as she demonstrated how easy it is to put together gorgeous holiday urns and I also presented a little session on forcing amaryllis and paperwhite bulbs for the holidays.
My assistant editor, Jen Murray, came along to videotape my seminar (which we’ll be posting soon!) and we took lots of snaps of Elaine’s beautiful holiday fair, some of which I’ve displayed below.
Fellow gardening writer, Mark Disero, also published his take on the day.

One of Elaine's gorgeous evergreen carts where you could pick and choose what you wanted to use to create wreaths, urns, garlands, bows, etc.
One of the lovely pots Elaine helped me create as I explained how to force amaryllis bulbs. You can't see them, but they're hiding among the greenery and will grow around the branches in this lovely arrangement.
