Get ready for game day on Wednesday
Before you break out the football season home decor, head to Baton Rouge Succulent Co. this Wednesday, Aug. 21, for a night of crafting.
At the LSU Dried Floral Wreath Workshop guests can create a whimsical purple-and-gold door hanger made from real, dried and preserved florals around a grapevine wreath. The workshop is BYOB and requires the use of a glue gun, making it unsuitable for young children.
LSU Dried Floral Wreath Workshop starts at 6 p.m. with the class running about one to two hours. Class registration costs $75, with spaces limited. Baton Rouge Succulent Co. is at 7276 Highland Road. Find more information here.
