Are you more into DIY gifts than shopping? Join Marie Dow for her wreath making class on December 4th! Hang the wreath on your door or gift to a friend! You can also invite a friend to join you for a workshop! Other workshops include centrepiece making and sign making! These workshops are a great way to spend quality time with a loved one while learning a new skill (& make a perfect Christmas gift) at the same time!
Bring your children, parents, friends, grandchildren to the first ever Green Gables Christmas event. Green Gables will be all decorated for Christmas and there are so many fun things to do while you are there! Meet Anne, decorate holiday cookies, listen to live music and story-telling, make your own hot chocolate, and get your photo taken at the photobooth. And just so you know, this event is free for all children under eighteen!
