SOMERSET residents who would like to adorn their front door with a handmade Christmas wreath this December (2019) can learn how to make their own at a Christmas tree farm in the county.
Trudy Hendy from Langford Lakes Christmas Tree Farm in Langford Budville is hosting the Christmas wreath making workshops on December 10, 11, 12 and 13 and a table centre piece workshop on December 17.
Trudy said: “People who come along to my workshops will learn all they need to know about making a luxurious foliage Christmas door wreath or a stunning table centre piece.
“I will be providing a range of festive foliage and natural decorations for people to use and will teach the process step by step. To make the homemade wreaths extra special we will also offer LED battery lights to add some sparkle to the creations.
“Attendees will also be able to personalise their designs to their own tastes and take their finished wreath/table centre piece home with them to display during the festive season.
“We will provide all the materials needed. To make it super festive we will also be serving mulled wine or tea/coffee along with mince pies. Christmas carols will also be playing in the background. The workshops look set to be fun and informative and I hope lots of people sign up.”
Trudy will be teaching the Christmas wreath making workshops on Tuesday, December 10, Wednesday, December 11, Thursday, December 12 and Friday, December 13 from 7pm until 9pm. The table centre piece workshop will take place on Tuesday, December 17 from 7pm until 9pm.
Trudy added: “We suggest all attendees bring with them some gardening gloves, secateurs and a warm coat. Please also bring a scarf if you feel the cold. Our heating will be on, but we don’t want anyone feeling chilly. We’re also asking everyone to arrive 30 minutes before the workshop start time, so everyone can get settled in with a drink.”
The workshops will cost £35 per-person and there are only 10 places per workshop. Anyone wishing to attend will need to book and pay in advance by calling Langford Lakes Christmas Tree Farm on 01823 400476.
Trudy continued: “The workshops are for anyone looking to learn a new skill that can be improved upon year after year.”
