Join the Summit County Master Gardeners as they celebrate the holidays with garden crafts and information about holiday horticultural customs. All programs will be offered via Zoom.
Making a Holiday Centerpiece, 6:30 p.m. Dec. 10
Whether there are two or 20 at your holiday table, a home-crafted centerpiece will start the celebration. Summit County Master Gardener Melinda Stewart will show us how evergreen branches, a candlestick and a few supplies and tools can be turned into a beautiful focal point.

History and Horticulture of the Holidays, 6:30 p.m. Dec. 16
Cherished holiday traditions mark the passage of a significant season. Join Summit County Master Gardener Lee Paulson as he teaches us about historical holiday traditions and takes us around the world to share practices from other cultures. Lee is a master storyteller and beloved among our master gardener ranks. We hope you’ll join us as we celebrate the season in the last of our SCMG Holiday Series programs.
