The Workshop in detail

Using various spring flowers, crisp, green foliage and seasonal bulbs you will learn how to make a stunning wreath to either decorate your door or use as a table centre piece.

We allow plenty of time for our creative students to prepare their floral arrangements and provide everything you need to create your work. Seasonal treats, home bakes and refreshments as well as Barbara’s delicious afternoon tea will be served.
