Whether you make a wreath, buy a plant or visit the museum during its open house, you’ll catch the holiday spirit at the festive Queens County Farm Museum this month.
Make a one-of-a-kind wreath at a craft workshop using evergreen fronds from the grounds on Dec. 3, from 1 to 4 pm. All materials will be provided, but participants must bring their own shears. The cost of the class is $20.
Plants, plants and more plants are available for purchase, just in time to decorate your home with the winter varieties that signal the season — poinsettias, evergreen trees and paper whites. The proceeds of sales between Dec. 3-24 benefit the museum.
Don’t forget your camera when you viist the Farm Museum, festooned in all its gilded glory, on Dec. 26, 27 and 28 from Noon to 4 pm. While there, enjoy a mulled cider as you sit by the fire and warm your toes. Children can also make a decoration to take home.
The Museum is open every day, from 10 am to 5 pm. On Saturdays and Sundays, tours of the farmhouse and hayrides are available from 11 am to 4 pm (weather permitting). General admission is free, except where otherwise noted.
