Woodland Spring / Easter Living Wreath Foraging Workshop with flowering bulbs and natural materials

Description

Seasonal Spring living wreath workshop – Nettlebed Woodland. 🌿 Step into the beauty of spring and join us for a unique foraging and wreath-making experience in our privately owned woodland in Nettlebed! In this peaceful woodland setting, you’ll spend a relaxing afternoon foraging and crafting a stunning living wreath using natural, seasonal materials. This workshop is a wonderful opportunity to embrace the freshness of spring, working with nature to create a beautiful, long-lasting wreath filled with texture and life. Guided by florist and owner Jenni, you’ll enjoy a gentle foraging walk to gather fresh materials before learning how to weave your own eco-friendly wreath using sustainable techniques. 🌸 What to Expect: ✨ Craft your own bespoke spring wreath, using a woven base of foraged twigs and natural moss to hold moisture and sustain fresh growth. ✨ Forage for seasonal foliage, flowers, and greenery, incorporating cones, catkins and woodland finds. ✨ With Easter just around the corner, add your own creative touch with feathers, handcrafted nests, and decorative eggs for a seasonal flourish. 🌿 A Creative hands on Woodland Experience: Wrap up for a tranquil afternoon outdoors and wear sturdy footwear suitable for woodland terrain. We’ll have overhead cover in case of spring showers, ensuring a comfortable and enjoyable experience. 🌳 Supporting Our Woodland: All proceeds from this workshop contribute to the ongoing care and preservation of the woodland, helping us continue to protect and nurture this special space. 🌼 Looking for more workshops?

Jenni is a passionate florist, creator, crafter and teacher with over 35 years in the floral industry with extensive expertise in both wholesale and retail and events. Originally from South Africa where she started out in the wholesale of dried flowers and then naturally moved into fresh flowers where she ran 3 successful florist shops. There was an opportunity for expansion to the UK in the dried flower division so she moved with her family and established 2 very successful florist businesses in Wimbledon and Chelsea with a celebrity portfolio. After 10 years, missing the warmth of Africa she moved to Spain and lived bordering a nature reserve where she would host many wildflowers walks, foraging workshops and courses. At her luxury venue, she hosted many of weddings and functions, often to 1000's of guests at a time. After 20 years in Spain, she came back to the UK and set up a studio florist in the Oxfordshire area, specialising in wedding and events and craft workshops. Jenni combines her extensive floristry and gardening experience after establishing 3 gardens from scratch and is now not only a small scale flower farmer, but also grows and dries her own flowers as well as making crafts and selling DIY kits and hosting in-person workshops for all levels and abilities in Didcot, Faringdon and Nettlebed Woodlands, Near Henley on Thames. Her style is natural and draws from and reflects the influence of the different countries that she lived in and her surroundings including her private woodland that a lot of her material is sourced and grown in. Sustainability is a key principal in her designs as well as caring for the environment in all aspects of her floristry work.
