Spring Living Wreath Kit with Bulbs & Flowering Plants

Description

Create a living spring wreath that grows, flowers, and changes over time. Pre-order available: Kits will be sent out from mid February In this hands-on wreath-making experience, you’ll create a beautiful living wreath using natural willow, moss, spring bulbs and flowering plants. Designed to evolve over several weeks, this wreath celebrates the arrival of spring and the promise of new growth. Rather than simply decorating a pre-made base, you’ll be guided step by step through making the wreath structure from scratch, before planting and arranging the bulbs and plants so they can develop naturally. This kit is ideal for anyone who enjoys working with natural materials (gardeners, flower flowers, crafters) and wants to create something that lasts beyond a single day. It can easily be adapted for Easter with the addition of dainty eggs, feathers etc. What you’ll learn • How to create a strong willow wreath base from scratch • How to moss and prepare the structure to support living plants • How to plant and position spring bulbs and flowering plants for ongoing growth • How to care for your wreath as it develops and flowers Sustainability • The bulbs can be planted into the garden once flowering has finished and the base can be reused for seasonal wreath making. No prior floristry experience is needed — everything is explained clearly and at a relaxed pace with the guidance on an online tutorial. Choose your wreath style You can choose between two spring styles, both using the same core method: • A Circular softer, moss-rich style with bulbs nestled throughout • A tear drop shape more open, structural style with visible willow and seasonal stems You’ll select your preferred style when booking. Both designs grow and flower beautifully and use the same natural materials.

Jenni is a passionate florist, creator, crafter and teacher with over 35 years in the floral industry with extensive expertise in both wholesale and retail and events. Originally from South Africa where she started out in the wholesale of dried flowers and then naturally moved into fresh flowers where she ran 3 successful florist shops. There was an opportunity for expansion to the UK in the dried flower division so she moved with her family and established 2 very successful florist businesses in Wimbledon and Chelsea with a celebrity portfolio. After 10 years, missing the warmth of Africa she moved to Spain and lived bordering a nature reserve where she would host many wildflowers walks, foraging workshops and courses. At her luxury venue, she hosted many of weddings and functions, often to 1000's of guests at a time. After 20 years in Spain, she came back to the UK and set up a studio florist in the Oxfordshire area, specialising in wedding and events and craft workshops. Jenni combines her extensive floristry and gardening experience after establishing 3 gardens from scratch and is now not only a small scale flower farmer, but also grows and dries her own flowers as well as making crafts and selling DIY kits and hosting in-person workshops for all levels and abilities in Didcot, Faringdon and Nettlebed Woodlands, Near Henley on Thames. Her style is natural and draws from and reflects the influence of the different countries that she lived in and her surroundings including her private woodland that a lot of her material is sourced and grown in. Sustainability is a key principal in her designs as well as caring for the environment in all aspects of her floristry work.
