Greenery Wreath Workshops 2023
Using locally-sourced and many homegrown materials, learn the process of making an eco-friendly and biodegradable outdoor wreath for your home this winter.
In this fun seasonal workshop, you’ll be surrounded by plentiful materials to create a one-of-a-kind wreath, while taking some time out of the silly season busy-ness for a bit of meditative making in a beautiful rural location.
Previous attendees have always gone away having enjoyed the rhythmical process of working around the willow circle and the very personal results. If you’ve done all this before, see below to see why you should come again!
These workshops take place at greenery’s cutting garden base and are priced at £45pp, the price reflecting the rustic unheated venue rather than the quality of tuition, materials, experience or cake on offer! For groups of 4 or more people booking at a time, this price is reduced to £40pp (payable at the same time, where spaces allow). For a centrally heated option, see below for a collaboration with Tinkers Barn on Sun 10 December.

“Thank you so so much for this morning, I thoroughly enjoyed it. Would highly recommend. We were well wrapped up but it was like being in a romantic Christmas novel in the barn!”
Why come to an in-person wreath workshop?
I’ve taught a lot of people how to make a wreath over the past five years. So why come to a workshop rather than just make one at home?
Well aside from a refresher demo and new ideas, it’s also the practicality of having everything you need in one place. While you can make a wreath out of fir alone, the most interesting creations come from the unique combinations of seasonal foliage and decorative materials which people select from the huge range of materials on offer.
Part of the joy of a workshop is gathering with other people to craft together. It doesn’t matter if you’re chatty or introverted, being with other people in a creative environment is a celebratory, festive thing to do, and you can ask for help if you get stuck! Plus, the cake is always homemade and the coffee good.
Fancy something different?
Further into December, I’m also able to offer group workshops making garlands or table decorations, so if you would like to discuss a private workshop for a weekday or weekend, please do get in touch.
Or if you’d like to talk to me about bespoke workshops in the future, suggestions are always welcome. It’s possible to arrange cutting garden tours and picking sessions, or workshops creating hand-tied bouquets, table centres or dried flower wreaths for example. For examples of previous workshops, please see here.
