Festive wreath making (5 December)

Join florist Paula Edgington to start your festive season and make your own garden-inspired festive wreath.  No previous experience is needed as you will be taken through the process step-by-step. The wreath will be made from scratch and will have a moss-based ring.  You will then cover it in a selection of festive evergreen foliage and berries which have been gathered from the Botanic Garden, followed by a choice of decorations from natural pinecones, cinnamon bundles, dried fruit and more, and finally a ribbon to hang it up. Come and have fun, learn a new skill, be creative and leave with your very own handmade festive wreath for your front door. This course is suitable for all levels and everything you need is provided.

Paula Edgington has worked for over 32 years in the commercial flowers and plants industry in the UK, both in retail, in the head offices of two major high street retailers, and in the commercial growing and production of flowers and plants for retail customers.
