The crew at Flo's Wreaths take a short break. Raymonde Houde prefers the comraderie of the season spent working together rather than making wreaths at home.

When Jarrod McCabe spent time photographing the wreathmakers of Washington County, Maine, he gained access to a seasonal world that most of us never knew existed. Many generations of men and women work hard at crafting these iconic holiday wreaths that are then sent around the country. The wreathmakers, many pictured in the following images at Flo’s Wreaths in Marshfield, Maine, create close to 100,000 wreaths per year.
