Christmas Wreath Workshop

Burston Garden Centre is hosting a Christmas wreath workshop on Monday 7 December, part of their seasonal events programme. It's a two-hour indoor session, running from 11:00 to 13:00, so you're in and out well before the afternoon rush. The florist leading it is Lily Alley, and the whole point is to make your own wreath from fresh materials and take it home with you.

Burston is an independent garden centre over in Chiswell Green, and this workshop is one of the family, craft and seasonal events they run throughout the year. They've got an on-site restaurant too, so if you fancy a proper lunch or a coffee after you've finished your wreath, you can just stay put rather than heading back into town. There's free parking on site, which makes getting to Chiswell Green a lot easier than hunting for a space on a weekday morning.

It's £55 for the session, and since it's an indoor workshop, you don't have to worry about the December weather while you're working. You'll be using fresh materials to put together a wreath you can actually keep and display, and you'll have the florist on hand to guide you through it. If you're after something to do on a Monday morning that leaves you with something for your front door, this is a good shout. It runs from 11:00 to 13:00 at Burston Garden Centre, Chiswell Green, AL2 2DS, and costs £55.
