An Audubon Wreath: The Ideal Holiday Gift or Decoration for Your Home

The Audubon Community Nature Center will hold its 2021 holiday wreath fundraiser, with orders due by Monday, Nov. 22.

Purchasers can choose either a plain wreath of fresh greens or a “Uniquely Audubon” wreath with a variety of sustainably harvested natural items including white pine cones, cedar, lavender, milkweed seed pods, grasses, and more. Information on the natural items used in this year’s Uniquely Audubon wreath will be included with a purchase.

Wreaths are made on a sturdy wire frame and completed sizes range between 18 and 20 inches. The wreaths of fresh greens only are $28. Those with fresh greens and Uniquely Audubon decor are $46. Quantities are limited. Proceeds from the Holiday Wreath Fundraiser support Audubon’s mission of connecting people to nature in addition to supporting local business.

To place an order by Monday, Nov. 22, call 716-569-2345 or click through “Upcoming Programs” at AudubonCNC.org.

Orders can be picked up at Audubon on Friday, Dec. 3, from noon to 4:30 p.m., or Saturday, Dec. 4, from 10 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.

Those interested can decorate a plain wreath with natural items by signing up for the Decorating with Greens Make-n-Take classes on Saturday, Dec. 4. A variety of materials will be on hand to create one-of-kind decorations suited to one’s particular taste. For details and to register, click on “Upcoming Programs” at AudubonCNC.org.
