Deck the Holidays Luncheon

Thursday, December 10, 2026 at 11:30 a.m.

Celebrate the magic of the season as the Lauritzen Gardens Guild welcomes Lance Jackson and David Ecton, co-founders of the nationally acclaimed design firm Parker Kennedy Living for an inspiring holiday presentation.

"'Twas the night before Christmas, and all through the house, not a creature was stirring—except for Lance Jackson, putting the finishing touches on a home ready to welcome holiday guests."

Today, Lance and David travel from Commerce, Georgia, to Nashville, Chicago, New York, and beyond, teaching their signature vintage jewelry wreath-making and Christmas topiary workshops to thousands of enthusiastic makers each year. .

Join Lance and David as they share the remarkable story behind Parker Kennedy Living, their passion for timeless design, and how an unexpected holiday project transformed their award-winning residential design firm into one of the country's most sought-after names in holiday decorating. You'll leave inspired with ideas for creating meaningful seasonal traditions of your own—and perhaps a little extra sparkle to bring home.
