Join flower farmer and florist Georgie Newbery as she demonstrates exactly how to make the perfect willow wreath.
Having made willow wreaths for years, Georgie has refined the skills you’ll need to turn long stems of willow into a magical circle. Georgie uses willow from her flower farm, but you can use willow, or any good bendy sticks you can forage from your own growing space. Once the beautiful circle is made Georgie shows you how to make a garland which will turn your wreath into a Christmas decoration.
Watch the demo and be inspired to create your own wreath base, which can be a gorgeous circle to hang on the wall or door all year round, and then learn to make a garland which in this case will be attached to the wreath but is a skill you can use to create garlanding for your door or table any time of the year.
No previous floristry experience required. The work you’re taught to make in this demo is 100% biodegradable.
If you are interested in learning how Georgie creates more Christmas decorations using foraged materials and eco floristry skills you might also like our Christmas Tablescape online demo and our Mossed Wreath for Christmas online demo.
You can book all three festive demos as a package - click here.
Why do a workshop or demo with Common Farm Flowers?
Georgie Newbery has been building her small business growing flowers for sale and creating floristry with material she’s grown on the farm since 2010. She is a Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) Floristry Judge, RHS dahlia trials committee member, and Garden Media Guild New Talent Award Judge.
Georgie does not see other flower farmers and florists as competition, but rather as potential colleagues and collaborators. Georgie knows that it is in her interest to teach her students everything she knows. And she spends a great deal of time talking to other flower farmers and small business owners and learning as much as she can around the subject of running small businesses and farming gardens and small acreage.
There are no secrets held back from you at a Common Farm Flowers workshop.
