Join gardening educators Carrie Craddock and Jordan Cusins for a morning of celebration as they create thoughtful gifts inspired by nature. Together, we’ll tour the GFE, collect botanical treasures, and learn how to use our harvest to create leaf-print card sets, portable flower presses, and seasonal mini bouquets. At the end of this hands-on session, you’ll have three gifts to give or keep, and you’ll be filled with fresh ideas and holiday spirit.

Jordan Kushins (she/her) writes about creative places, people, and things. I draw everything from seagulls to salvia. Make ceramic jewelry and other crafts. Every week I garden with Carrie Craddock and play Up on Top with the kids! program at the Tenderloin Rec Center. She is a proud garden for the environment, stand up! Since graduating, I have designed sweatshirts, hats, pins, signs, and more for GFE.
