What an incredible afternoon we shared last weekend! The Magnolia Workshop was filled with creativity as everyone gathered for a Candle Making Class with Pup Country Candles.

It was a privilege to be part of such a meaningful gathering, one rooted in history, horticulture, and a shared love for one of the South’s most treasured blooms.
