Description

Kathrine Armstrong-Bisson is leading a Christmas garland workshop at RHS Garden Harlow Carr on Friday 11 December, a new addition to the garden's 2026 programme of Christmas workshops. It's aimed at beginners, so you don't need to have a green thumb to get stuck in.

Harlow Carr Library Talk and Garden Walk: The Oak Tree

The session is all about building a garland or mantle to use around the house—either as a centrepiece for the big day or draped over a roaring fire. You start with a metal wreath frame, which you then dress with a varied selection of seed heads, berries, dried fruit, cones and other evergreen vegetation. By the time you're finished, you'll have something handmade to bring into your own home for the season.

There are two times to choose from on the day: a morning session from 10am to 12.30pm, or an afternoon one from 1.30pm to 4pm. It's £75 to take part, though it's free for RHS Members. Places are limited to 30 in total, so if you're keen, it's worth booking early rather than leaving it to the last minute. The garden is at Crag Lane, Harrogate, HG3 1QB.
