Hort for the Holidays 2026 - Rockford
Evergreen Porch Pots
Embrace winter's beauty by creating a festive evergreen porch pot at one of our upcoming Evergreen Porch Pots Workshops. This hands-on class lets participants design and assemble a decorative container using fresh evergreen boughs, natural accents, and seasonal embellishments. Participants will leave with a completed porch pot and the confidence to create seasonal containers in the future.
Join U of I Extension Master Gardeners Brenda Smith, Ann Somers, and Martha Ebner on Saturday, December 5th, from 10:00 to Noon. for this hands-on workshop. This year's Hort for the Holidays will take place at the Winnebago County Extension office, located at 1040 N. 2nd Street, Rockford. There is a $35 fee to attend, and all necessary supplies are provided.
