Make Your Own Holiday Gifts

Join Zac Stayton — beekeeper, farmer, educator, and owner of Sweet Wing Gardens LLC — to learn how to make your own beautiful, natural, clean-burning beeswax candles. Unlike most conventionally made scented candles that can release toxins into the air as they burn, beeswax candles burn longer and brighter, and can actually de-toxify air. Class participants will get tips for making molded candles and will make two rolled candles, which are perfect for holiday gifting.

Non-member fee of $35 includes general admission to the Garden and two hand-rolled candles to take home. Garden members receive a $10 discount.

Houston Botanic Garden offers free parking for day-time events, which are held rain or shine. If you have specific questions, please email education@hbg.org.
