Brighten your room and heart in these dark winter months with beautiful wreathes and garlands made from locally sourced materials. Enliven your senses and spaces with fragrant, natural flora you have foraged to add to your creations. Join us for this bracing and creative activity in our woodland workshop, beneath our canopy and beside a roaring fire. These ensure you are kept dry and warm, with a constant supply of hot, seasonal and foraged drinks. All included in the price. In these inspiration sessions, your host Stephen will introduce and demonstrate a variety of materials and techniques that can be used to create a magnificent winter wreath. This workshop is carried out at "The Clearing", an outdoor, purpose-built, creative space at Lesnes Abbey Woods in South East London.
