Here at Creekside Farms, we believe our all-natural, handcrafted wreaths represent the perfect nod to Earth Day. Grown on our family farm with no pesticides, the herbs and flowers used in our designs showcase the beautiful, natural flora and greenery of our area. All of our products are harvested by hand and naturally air-dried. We take full advantage of recycling efforts and are utilizing solar panels for the majority of our power.
