by

Weston Nurseries’ fairies are getting in the holiday spirit this year! They have snowmen, sleighs, holiday mailboxes and more that will turn your fairy garden into a winter wonderland. Don’t forget to check out the ‘Fairy Tree’ in the Garden Center Holiday Shop for even more inspiration. The store, located at 93 East Main Street in Hopkinton, will stay open until 8:00pm that night so plan to end the evening with private shopping.

Cost: $10 Workshop fee includes registration, soil and moss. Additional items such as the planter, plants, fairies, fairy houses and stepping stones are priced a la carte. Space is limited. Please call 508-293-8091 to reserve your spot.
