Join chapter member Jeff Weber at Celery Fields for a wreath-making workshop at the nature center's picnic tables. Wreaths will be provided for everyone but please bring your own plant material.

Jeff has been making (and selling) native plant holiday decorations for some years and is now willing to share his secrets with the group. Watch and learn, or better yet, bring a grapevine wreath form and appropriate native plant material (red cedar, sand pine, magnolia, beautyberry, dahoon holly, coontie).

I was born in Olean, N.Y., but have lived in Florida since I was 8 years old. I graduated from Seminole High School in Pinellas County and attended Eckerd College in St. Petersburg, where I earned a bachelor’s degree in biology. I started my career with the Florida Park Service in 1985, working as a state park ranger at various Central Florida parks, including Gamble Plantation State Historic Site in Ellenton, Caladesi Island State Park in Dunedin and Wekiwa Springs State Park in Apopka. In 1989, I was promoted to a district biologist position within the Florida Park Service, working at Oscar Scherer State Park in Sarasota County, and held that position for approximately three years. Then, in 1992, I accepted my current position as an environmental specialist with Sarasota County Parks, Recreation and Natural Resources, where I enjoy the many rewards (and the occasional challenge) of managing five Sarasota County natural area preserves. In my spare time, I enjoy exploring local, state and national parks, nature photography, wildflower gardening and traveling to new and exciting places.
