Palm Frond Boondoggles

February 7, 2025 @ 10:00 am - 1:00 pm

Come join us for a super fun class on weaving palm fronds also known as boondoggles.

Weaving boondoggles is an old-fashioned, traditional, heritage craft of the southern US. Each Boondoggle can be woven from one entire palm frond of the Sabal Palm, also known as the cabbage palm. Palm fronds have been used for centuries to create a variety of useful and decorative items. From baskets and hats to wall hangings and beach mats, the possibilities are endless when it comes to this versatile material. We will be learning how to weave fresh palm fronds to create beautiful and unique pieces of art. With all the palm trees around us you will be able to use your new-found skills all year round.

We will join Carrie in her garden to create our boondoggles.

Please bring a chair, a beverage and a snack and we can enjoy some socializing afterwards.

                                                Cost for this workshop is $20 for members and $25 for non-members

No-shows or cancellations after January 31sr will not be refunded. Contact Carrie if you must cancel.
