Christmas Wreath Making with Fiona Denning

The Gallivant - Happiness is a place

Join Fiona Denning, artist, designer and our very own Garden Guru, for a 2-hour festive class where you will learn to create your own beautiful Christmas wreath.

In this class, she will guide you through the process of how to create a wreath from scratch, combining festive foliage and working with different materials to help you create something special, unique and personal for the festive season. There will be a break halfway through to enjoy a glass of wine and see how your fellow attendees are progressing.

Learn from our very own experienced garden designer and artist who is responsible for creating our Coastal Garden and flower and plant displays here at the Gallivant. Scroll down to the bottom of this page for her bio.
