Christmas workshops 2025
We are well organised for this year and have set our dates for our fabulous range of festive workshops in Bedfordshire and Buckinghamshire, at Turvey House, Newton Blossomville and Bedford. The workshops cost is £60 (unless otherwise stated) and covers everything you need including all the moss, foliage, accessories and of course obligatory mulled wine/mulled apple juice, Christmas tunes and nibbles. These dates have become tradition for lots of groups and we can't wait to welcome people back and see some new faces in the run up to the festive period.

About the workshops
Christmas is our favourite time of year so we want to make sure that all our workshops are fun and festive and that everyone leaves with something that they are proud of and makes them smile everyday when they come home to it.
Christmas wreaths
For the base of the arrangements we use locally grown green spruce and Norwegian silver spruce, then we also provide a mix of other foliages to complement these including a range of types of eucalyptus, pine, oak leaves, pittosporum , cotton, birch twigs, pussy willow, thistle, sprayed foliage, plus traditional ivy, conifer and holly.
We also will provide a wide range of accessories, including traditional decorations (such as pine cones, oranges, cinnamon and robins), some more unusual natural decorations (such as lotus seed heads, old mans beard and wooden decorations) and then more modern and sparkly accessories in a range of colours (including a wider range of baubles, stars and lights).
​
We don’t limit the amount of foliage or accessories you can use and truly encourage a creative and expressive display which ensures that everybody finally design is completely different and personal to them.
Christmas swags
These are a simpler alternative to door wreaths, using long lengths of foliages layered on top of each other and decorated with simple accessories and bows. These have a natural appeal of just being gathered and are a lot easier and quicker to create than the round wreaths.

Christmas garlands
We will use a range of textured and long lasting foliages to create a long garland bound together that can be laid on a mantlepiece or down the centre of a table scape and combined with accessories and candles to create an amazing festive focal piece.
