What a wreath-tastic day in the lab! Students crafted wreaths using Kay Parris Magnolia and evergreen branches. After learning Dr. Parris’ go-to techniques, they’re excited to try their hand at making more!

Plus—students even made a festive gnome who’s now happily living in the Plant Zoo on our Spartanburg (Giles) Campus! 🌿

Today’s the day! We’re so excited to see everyone at Arboretum Adventures tonight!
It’s going to be a beautiful evening of learning, inspiration, and connection. 💚
