Students in Mrs. Velma Gushea's Greenhouse Program at Northwest Technical Center in Ogdensburg have been busy little elves this month, creating evergreen wreaths and arrangements for the holiday season. Orders began arriving just before Thanksgiving for evergreen wreaths, kissing balls, swags, center piece arrangements, and garland. So far this season, students have made and decorated over 110 evergreen decorations, and 84 feet of garland. With assistance from teachers and teacher aides, students use wreath crimping machines to make the wreaths, which also come shaped like a heart or a candy cane.
