Enjoy an evening of relaxing, mindful craft as you create your very own botanical wreath using local flowers and plants.
Discover how making a seasonal wreath can be a sensory, immersive experience as we connect with the history of wreath making. As you select and work with individual plants and flowers, scents and colours, your workshop host, Alex, will delve into the folklore, holistic meanings and healing properties of each, helping you to create a uniquely personal wreath that is both beautiful and meaningful.
Class sizes are kept small making sure that everyone gets attention and assistance when needed. This relaxed, social space promotes well-being, creativity and environmental awareness.
All materials are natural, eco-friendly, sustainable & zero waste – no plastic or glitter!
