Symondsbury Estate are thrilled to be partnering again with Emma Dixon, the resident River Cottage Florist, in bringing two days and two nights of festive flora and fauna.
With expert tuition from Emma, you will be shown step-by-step how to create your own signature show stopping yuletide wreath in this relaxed, enchanting and seasonal workshop. All materials are included and sustainably sourced from Emma's garden, so get creative using festive favourites such as holly berries, eucalyptus, spruce and rosemary, and don’t worry, no experience is necessary! Mulled wine and mince pies will also be provided, as no Christmas workshop would be complete without these!
