Amanda Newman reviewed: Willow Wreath Weaving workshops

"I really enjoyed the afternoon making the Christmas Wreath with other lovely ladies. Our tutor Justine brought in some amazing willow to make the circular wreath and wonderful mixed foliage together with colourful ribbons for decoration. Justine was incredibly patient, helpful and her instructions were very clear. Not being a very creative person myself I was very pleased with my wreath and the best thing is, when the foliage dies back, you can keep the willow ring and make use of it over and over again, and not just for Christmas! Thank you Mara, Justine and Denmark Farm"

Denmark Farm Conservation Centre responded:

"Thank you for coming along to this workshop Amanda, and for supporting our work at Denmark Farm. We're so glad you enjoyed the afternoon and that you are pleased with your wreath. Have a lovely Christmas and look forward to seeing you again soon. Best wishes. Mara"
