We all grieve differently for different reasons, such as a loss of a loved one, loss of employment, loss of status, loss of a relationship, loss of a role. We can all share the loss we are experiencing and share what can help to come to terms with that loss and start taking those first steps forward.

Christmas Wreath-Making Workshop

Sunday 30th November from 11am-1pm.

In this 2-hour workshop you will create your own Fresh Christmas Wreath from scratch, using materials collected from around our site plus other decorative touches. 

You will also be planting your own seasonal Cyclamen planter to take away, perfect for indoors and outdoors. 

Tickets cost £45 per person including a hot drink and a delicious cake.

No previous gardening or flower arranging skills are necessary and all materials are included for your wreath and mini-planter. There will also be time for you to browse our lovely Christmas department and select some additional embellishments if you choose to. 

This relaxed and friendly group workshop will take place in our event glasshouse, so it will be dry and undercover but it may be chilly, so we would advise you to wrap up warm!
