VGCC Offers Holiday Floral Design Course

Want to learn how to make your home look festive for the upcoming Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays? Then the Holiday Floral Design course being offered at Vance-Granville Community College should be just the thing for you.

The 18-hour course will begin Nov. 10 and run each Wednesday from 7 to 10 p.m. through Dec. 15 in Room 5230 on VGCC’s main campus.
