Join the Chatsworth Floristry team for a two-hour wreath-making experience in our garden studio, The Old Potting Shed. We also offer an extended wreath-making workshop.
Our skilled team will guide you through the process of crafting your own unique traditional Christmas door wreath, using an array of seasonal foliage and decorative accents. This relaxed workshop is perfect for getting into the Christmas spirit and can be enjoyed by all skill levels and abilities, but requires manual dexterity.
Please bring your own secateurs and gloves.
